Backing up via a command line is more reliable than using something like PHPMyAdmin.
If you have SSH or Telnet access, then I would recommend backing up via a command line. If not, you may have PHPMyAdmin, if that's the case -- take a look here. However, this is only recommend with small databases, as time outs can occur. You may also be interested in taking a look at this hack, which does an automatic (cron) backup of your database |

Templates are included in the database backup.
The only reliable method of backing up your data is to use SSH a free SSH client would be Putty After that login to your server via SSH with your account information, and enter commands like tar -cvvf backup.tar /home/account/public_html/* and mysqldump -u USERNAME -p database_name > /home/account/database_backup.sql Then download the backup.tar and database_backup.sql files to your computer. |

The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:
Backup: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...nce_ssh_backup Restore: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...ce_ssh_restore P.S. If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts: MySQLDumper: http://www.mysqldumper.de/en/index.php MySQLHotxcopy: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...t=mysqlhotcopy Bigdump: http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.php |

Why? CPanel is excellent for things like that.

I've seen some posts where people have said that cPanel can create corrupted backups.
