At Hostinger, we provide automated weekly backups for all our Web and Cloud hosting plans. In addition, if your hosting plan is Business or greater, you have daily backups enabled.

To download a backup, go to Websites → Manage, search for Backups on the sidebar, and click on it:

There, you will find the option to download files or databases.

To download your files, select Files backups:

Choose your preferred date from the drop-down menu and click on Next step:

After a moment, the list of files and directories in your hosting plan's home directory will appear. To download your website files, click on Download all files:

There's no need to select any particular folder because this feature is designed to automatically download all the files of all your websites within a particular hosting plan.

You will be notified with a pop-up that backup preparation has started. Click on Close in the popup window, and wait a few minutes. The time will vary depending on the size of your backup. When it is ready, click on Download Backup:

The downloaded archive will be in .tar.gz format and contain all of your account's files in it.

To download a database, select Database backups:

Choose the database from the list and click on Show databases to get the list of available dates:

Select the date, and click on Download:

A pop-up will appear indicating that the backup is in preparation. Click on Close in the popup window, and wait a few minutes. The time will vary depending on the size of your database backup.

Once it's ready, click on Download Backup:

The downloaded database will be in a compressed .sql.gz format.

Now that you have downloaded your files and databases to your local device, you can keep them securely stored and readily accessible whenever necessary.
