There are two ways to back up your WordPress website: one is using a WordPress plugin, and the second is doing it manually.
There are so many plugins available, like BackWPup, UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, and Jetpack.
--> Manual Backup:
First, back up all your files.- Connect to your site via cPanel.
- Navigate to Files >> File Manager.
- Choose public_html.
- Next, select your website’s folder, then click the ‘Compress’ button at the top of the page.
- A pop-up window will open, choose ‘Zip Archive’, then click ‘Compress Files’ to create a backup.
- Once compression is finished, a confirmation message will appear, click ‘Close’ to continue.
- Click ‘Download’ at the top to save the backup file to your computer.
This includes your theme, plugins, uploads, and WordPress core files.
--> Backup your database- Log in to your cPanel.
- Open phpMyAdmin.
- Select your WordPress database.
- Click Export (choose "Quick" and "SQL" format).
