Tutorial Text

• In this tutorial we will be creating a backup of our Joomla database using phpMyAdmin.
• phpMyAdmin is the most widely used database administration tool so that is why we have chosen it for this tutorial.
• You will have to login to phpMyAdmin through your hosting service.
• From the Database dropdown menu select your Mambo database.
• Now we need to click on the Export tab.
• Hide the left frame to see more of the screen
• By default, every table will get exported. If you would like to export only selected ones, you may choose from this list.
• You can also change the output options for the file, and what types of data you want to save. Don't change these options unless you know what you are doing.
• Now we need to scroll down
• There are 2 ways to get the output. You can get it directly on your screen so you can copy it. Or you can save it to a file automatically. That is what we will do.
• Scroll over
• Click the Go button to generate the file
• We want to save the file, so just click OK.
• You will receive a notification when the download is complete. That concludes this tutorial.
