Cpanel has several backup utilities: one for all the regular files one for the mysql database and two types of email backups.
In order to backup your files go to backups then select “back up home directory”. This will create zip file of EVERYTHING from the public_html directory that you can download and store on your local home computer or wherever you choose to store the backup file. There is also a utility to upload the same file to restore the data should you ever need to in the event of a server crash. I have never experienced a server crash, but it is still a good idea to do so.
Assuming you are in the directory where you want to copy the files, use this Linux command:
cp -R * destination path
Designing a database properly is crucial to developing a strong and efficient information system. Proper planning and design not safeguards against a broad range of problems.
A poorly designed database can cause data to become inaccurate and unreliable. Performance can also take a hit and the database may not function properly. A properly designed database is the foundation that a good information system application is built on. If the foundation is weak, so is the rest of of the application built on it.
We employ a thorough database design process is several main areas:
1) Information Gathering: We ask a lot of questions to learn as much as we can about the operational and business requirements of your company, What kind of information you need to store and process and the scope of your requirements.
2) Conceptual Database Design: Based on the information gathering stage above, we now begin the database modeling process. This is where we plan and sketch out the blue print of your database. We build a computerized database modeling diagram that includes carefully constructed tables which will determine how the data will be stored and processed. Next, we identify dependencies and relationships between these tables.
3)Logical Database Design: Here we map the database model and relationships into a physical database management system. We create the actual tables with the required fields with their relationships called a database schema.

Below is a simple example of using a Load Data Local Infile statement in MySQL.
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/sql/products-test.txt' IGNORE
INTO TABLE old_products
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' '
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
(productID, title, description, vendor, domain, media, catalog);
Writing a create table statement in SQL is very straighforward. However, before you can create a table, you need to make sure you have already created your database.
The following is a statement that would create a table named products:
// products table
create table products (
productID varchar(20),
title varchar(100),
description mediumtext,
vendor varchar(100),
domain varchar(100),
media varchar(255),
catalog varchar(200)
);
Each create table statement in SQL starts with the create table “name” statement followed by a “(”. Then comes the naming of the table columns, followed by the datatype.
Once you have your tables created in your database you can use php mysql statements in your web pages to effectively interact with your data. Using databases in your web sites.
When shopping carts list products, adding a little formatting and color to your web page can make all the difference.
