Before making any major modifications or performing upgrades to your live ATutor web site, we advise you to create a full web site backup.

In order to backup your ATutor application you have to:

1.  Backup all of your files and folders inside your ATutor installation folder. You can do that by downloading them via your favourite FTP client. You can find our comprehensive FTP tutorial here.
2.  Backup/Export your database. This task can be performed by using PHPMyAdmin. Check our tutorial on how to backup/restore MySQL database in order to create a backup of your ATutor database.

NB: Make sure that you choose the correct database which your ATutor application uses.

If you are unsure about the ATutor database name you will be able to find it in the atutor_folder/include/config.inc.php file. You can view this file through cPanel -> File manager.
