Joomla: This is how the website backup works
- First switch the website offline by setting "Yes" under "Configuration" under "Website offline" in the Joomla control panel.
- Then back up your MySQL database using PHPMyAdmin.
- Then log in to your server using an FTP program and change to the main directory of Joomla.
- Select all files and folders using [Ctrl] + [A] and drag them to your computer.

- We recommend that you back up the database every two to four weeks. You should make a full backup of your homepage at least once a month.
