Our site crashed. We were advised to fix the error and we were thinking of backing up our database.

Hello,

In case that you are using MySQL, you could do the following:

  • SSH to your Droplet

  • Then run the following command:

mysqldump -u your_user -p your_database > your_database.sql

This would create an SQL file which you could then download over SFTP.

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby
