Hi,
Your database backup is a separate file, ending in the extension db.gz. It is not in any of the .zip files. To download it, go to the ‘Existing Backups’ tab of your UpdraftPlus page in your WP dashboard, and click on the ‘Database’ button.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply!
But how do I get the .sql file, please?

Hi,
The db.gz file is a gzip-compressed SQL file. To download it, go to the ‘Existing Backups’ tab of your UpdraftPlus page in your WP dashboard, and click on the ‘Database’ button.

Hi David,
Sorry for my question that might sound too simple for you. But, when I decompress the file:
backup_2015-08-10-1454_Le_Progrs_adecf42869bb-db.gz
I get a file like this:
backup_2015-08-10-1454_Le_Progrs_adecf42869bb-db
but not a .sql.
In case I will need to restore the database, PHPmyAdmin will request a .sql file.
What should I do then?
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Christian.
Hi Christian,
If phpMyAdmin requires the imported file to end in .sql, then just rename the UpdraftPlus backup (after decompressing it), so that it does so. It is in SQL format, so after that, all should be fine.

Hi David,
How should I rename it?
This: backup_2015-08-10-1454_Le_Progrs_adecf42869bb-db
into this: backup_2015-08-10-1454_Le_Progrs_adecf42869bb-db.sql
Please, confirm
Regards,
Christian.
