Download a backup of the site?

[miscforu]

Before switching to x10 hosting I regularly made backups of my site just in case of an emergency where I need to restore my site to a previous version. After transferring my site to x10 hosting, I can't seem to see an option to do this? I've exported the database through phpMyAdmin but on my old host there was simply a "create backup" option... In the File Manager then no matter what I do, the "download" option is disabled (though I would prefer a way to download the files as a .zip, .tar, etc., rather than having to download all of the files).

Is such a feature available?

Thanks!

1. When in File Manager
   
2. Click on 'public_html' to go to the root directory of your website(s),
   
   
3. Hold CTRL + Click on the folders you want in the backup,
   
   
   
4. Click on 'compress' at the top right hand side,
   
   
   
   
5. Choose format and name for your backup and click 'Compress File(s)',
   
   
   
   
6. An archived folder will be created, if you click on that folder you will see that the download button activates, allowing you to download your website backup as you wished.
