Backups

I'm not being able to backup any of my file in the cPanel. Im moving to a better host cause this one is always down. I need my files that are on my website i cannot lose the stuff. There is no backup button.

You can make a manual back up.

cPanel --> FileManager

Go up one level

Select public_html , click on "Compress" icon at top of page. I use tar.gz format. Download resulting file.

If your you have a big site, it might be better to stay in public_html and compress individual directories.

Database, use cPanel --> PHPMyAdmin and have it zip the data dump.

Ok I did that for my files but i also need my databases

As mentioned, you can go to cPanel --> PHPAdmin

Go to each database

Use the "Export" tool within the database to dump the table structure and data. Choose a zip format and it will download to your computer. You can use the file to import the data into almost any database engine.
