Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to backup your MySQL database through the phpMyAdmin interface. Please note that you can use phpMyAdmin, only if you have a UNIX based shared hosting plan.

You can login to phpMyAdmin using the Aplus.Net Control Panel:

  1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
  2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
  3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
  4. Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
  5. Next, click the MySQL Database Manager icon.
  6. Click the manage database link associated with the exact MySQL Database you’d like to backup.

Note: You will be automatically redirected to the phpMyAdmin administration tool.

  1. Select your database name from the respective drop-down menu located in the left-hand side of the page.
  2. Now, Check all tables and click on Export in the top navigation bar.
  3. Again, Select All tables; leave all other settings as set by default.
  4. Then, check the box next to Save as file.
  5. Choose the type of Compression you want and click Go.
  6. In the newly opened dialog box select Save and choose the location of the backup file on your computer.

To import the backup file to your MySQL database using phpMyAdmin, go to the SQL query window and simply browse to the file on your computer.
