To export your database, you can use PHPMyAdmin which is available in your control panel.
- Click on the icon labeled MySQL Databases in your control panel.
- At the bottom of the screen in MySQL Databases you will see an option for PhpMyAdmin, click on it
- Once in PhpMyAdmin click your database name on the left-hand side
- Click Export in the tabs on the right-hand top of the page
- Check the Save as file box, and set the filename you'd like to give it
If you have SSH access, you can also use the following command to export your database to an SQL file:
mysqldump -u username -p password databasename > filename.sql
