    I keep things simple by doing manual backups:

    cPanel > phpMyAdmin > SQL tables export to local
    FileZilla > SFTP > download /wp-content/ folder and contents
    FileZilla > SFTP > download wp-config.php
    FileZilla > SFTP > download .htaccess

    At that point I have everything needed to add to a fresh download of WordPress in order to move or to restore a site.

    For quick access to a database backup, I also go to cPanel > MySQL and make a backup database, SQL user and password, then go back to cPanel > phpMyAdmin and Synchronize the production database into it so I can at any time quickly switch to the backup and its user by making a couple of simple edits in wp-config.php.

    Thanks for that, I was thinking of a reliable, well designed plugin as I sometimes have to do several backups per week. I’m really looking for automation if possible. Can anyone recommend a good plugin that will handle this?
