How do I download or back up my MySQL database? Print

  • 0

Keep a copy of your database before big changes, or when moving your site. There are two easy ways.

Open your control panel: log in to the FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.

Option 1: Back up all databases at once

  1. In the control panel, open Web Tools → Backup/Restore (on-demand backups).
  2. Tick Databases as the backup type and click Create Backup.
  3. After a minute or two a download link appears. Download the zip file, which contains all your databases.

Option 2: Export one database with phpMyAdmin

  1. Open phpMyAdmin from the MySQL Databases section.
  2. Click the database on the left, then the Export tab.
  3. Leave Quick and SQL selected and click Export (or Go). A .sql file downloads to your computer.
