- In your hosting's Backups tab, find the backup in the list.
- Click Download. A .tar.gz file is downloaded.
What's inside
- public_html/: your website files.
- bases/: one .sql file per database.
- copia.json: a summary of what the backup contains.
On Windows you can open it with 7-Zip; on Mac and Linux, double-click it or use the tar command.
Keeping a copy on your computer (or your cloud storage) is the best protection: if anything happened to your hosting, you'd still have your site.
