To take a backup of all your databases you simply select "Export" on the main menu, define whether you wish to export data, structure or both, and press export. You can later restore backups by uploading the file to the "SQL" page. To make restoring easier, we suggest however you backup individual databases or even individual tables and use the SQL format instead of COPY.
