Safe & Sound: Backing Up and Restoring MySQL Databases

Databases are fragile.One bad plugin, one accidental deletion, and your content is gone.Regular backups are your lifeline.

Method 1: The Quick Dump

Use the Backup Wizard > Partial Backup > MySQL.
Pros: Fastest. 1-click download.
Cons: Can only restore the whole thing at once.

Method 2: phpMyAdmin (Precision)

Use the "Export" tab in phpMyAdmin.
Pros: You can choose specific tables to backup (e.g., just wp_posts).
Cons: More complex options (Format, Compression, etc.).

Restoring

To restore, simply drop (delete) the corrupt tables, go to the Import tab in phpMyAdmin, and upload your .sql file. It's like magic.

Don't lose your work. Rely on our automated backups at Champion Stack.
