 * Your host should have a set of instructions as to how to use their cpanel.
 * If you like to use plugins, check out:

 * If you are using cPanel, there should be a “backup” icon under the “files” category.
   You should be able to navigate in here and then either review their automated
   backups, or click the “generate or download a full account backup” button.

 * Please be clear that you have to backup BOTH:
 * A) your database
    B) your files. This especially means your media files (uploads
   etc), customised themes and customised plugins, it may also include your core
   WordPress files, standard themes and plugins, but these are easy to replace, 
   include them if it is more convenient.
 * Your cPanel will help these with both of these, remember that backups need to
   be in safe places, on your computer, on your hosting, AND somewhere else as well.
