You must log in to post replies.This depends on your ISP, so you will need to contant them for specifics. Generally you can either do this through CLI if you have shell access, through a site control panel, or through a MySQL app like PHPMyAdmin.
You could use this:
http://community.elgg.org/plugins/1329896/1.1/backup-tool
It will create a backup of everything.
Another possibility: http://www.mysqldumper.net/. Once installed it provides a web interface for manual backup/restore. You can also configure it to automatically make backups on defined intervals.
