Database Backup

You can easily back up a database in the following ways:

• By creating a MySQL database dump as a plain text file. This way, the database is saved as a single file. Restoring it is easy: just click the database you need and then click "Import Dump". For more details, see the section Exporting and Importing Database Dumps.
• By backing up the whole subscription, which creates a backup file in any location convenient for you (the local server, any remote FTP server or the cloud). For details on this topic, see the section Backing Up and Restoring Data.

Restoring a database

A database can be restored from a subscription backup archive or from a separate SQL file in the following ways:

• Restore from a backup of the whole subscription, choosing to restore only the database.
  
• Restore from a separate file using "Import Dump".
