Hi @valeksejevs7,
You can download your Website’s database from your terminal. To do so, SSH to your droplet
ssh root@YourDropletIP
To Export a database, open up terminal, making sure that you are not logged into MySQL and type,
mysqldump -u [username] -p [database name] > [database name].sql
The database that you selected in the command will now be exported to your droplet.
The username and name should be provided in your configuration file of your website.
There is a DigitalOcean tutorial as well:
