Dear community and WA friends, I am with WA for half of a year now and I still have issues backing up my website. Can you help me with the following - how do I backup my entire website in 1 backup file (zip format) and my database in sql format? I have the All-in-one WP migration ->export function, but it donlowad a file with .wpress extension that tells me nothing. How do I get the zip and SQL file, can you help me with that? Thanks a lot in advance,
Aleks

Thank you, All, AbieAj, Phil and Phil :) Juts another example as to how we (me) tend to complicate things. Your replies made me really understand how simple this in fact is - one plugin for export, same plugin for import - done. Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me understand this. All the best to you :)

but everything is included within the wpress file
the data base along with all the other parts of your site....
on github there is a free program that can help you split the backup file into your sitefiles again....
why do you need the sql file ...
unless you goto a different host then you will not be able to upload it here, not with hte managed hosting and no cpanel....
i hope you manage to get the information you need...

Hi
I use the AIO WP Migration or Updraft plugins. UpdraftPlus is a premium and highly recommended
With AIO WP Migration, there is a import and export button, and what it does is export a zip file, and through import, take in the zip file and migrate all of your content for you.

Thanks a lot for your rapid reply, AbieAJ, I also use the AIO WP Migration plugin, but all that I get with the export is a file with that I does not look like a zip file nor I do know what to do with it next... mywebsite.com-20220124-113939-1qw18s
