I am trying to learn more about wordpress and am bothered with this question.
I hosted my site on bluehost and decided to make a backup. I made a copy of public_html and downloaded it, I was later told by the support that I also need to export the database. That got me thinking where the actual data is located, if not in the public_html directory, where are the actual files that contains all the tables etc?
I asked the support but didn't get a good answer. Surely, all the data must be stored in some files somewhere, so shouldn't I be able to find them, download them, and not have to use an interface like PhpMyAdmin?
On BlueHost ask them to give you an export of SQL File of your database.
If you go the management panel and find MySQL (Database Software) where WordPress database files are stored.
But its best to install plugins like Wordpress DB backup in your WordPress and then use that plugin to download a backup of the database file. That may be easier for you considering you are a non-technical user.

I bought a 1and1.es (Spain) Starter hosting plan for a small project we are starting. It only allows one database. I never imagined that to enable phpMyAdmin Designer (the graphical tab where you set relations between tables) you'd need to create another database. Of course, when I try to, I get an "access denied" error.
So, assuming I can't use phpMyAdmin, I haven't been able to find the right term to look for an alternative MySQL manager that has some kind of graphical relation creator. I just converted the tables to InnoDB and I have Relation View, but a totally-unskilled team has to work with it so we need visuals.
PS: I just saw I can pay 1$/month and have another database, so I might consider it (it'w low price, but feels useless having a 1GB database just for a silly database. I don't get why phpMyAdmin needs another database just for that).
Thank you
Why do you imagine that the phpMyAdmin configuration storage needs a separate database?
According to http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#phpmyadmin-configuration-storage,
"you need to create a set of special tables. Those tables can be located in your own database,"...

I have a site in drupal7 and i want to create offline package.
so - anybody know how to convert the pages in my site to html files?
Seems like you want a local, static copy of your website ?
you can copy it with tools such as http://www.httrack.com/ . Be aware that any dynamic content will become static, so many features will probably not work.
If you want to create a backup of the site, I'd suggest you should use the Backup and Migrate module to backup the database and Backup Migrate Files module to backup the files.
This would be better to make a backup of your remote site to local system as well.
But, if you require to export the content as HTML pages, you should try the HTML Export module, which does exactly that.

I am administrating mediawiki for my organisation. We use it as our Intranet site. It has accumulated a huge organisational knowledge base. I have make sure that mediawiki is always up and running. Knowledge base always backed up.
Is there a way to take continuous back of mediawiki files and databases? My mediawiki is hosted on LAMPP server with Debian OS.
I am trying to find a way to automate backup process.
It depends on what you mean by "continuous". If you want a copy of the database running that is always the same as the main database, you will need to set up "replication" - see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication.html for how to do that.
If you want a database backup that is relatively current, then running mysqldump every hour or so is a pretty good solution.
You'll need to backup the files separately, because they are in your file system not the database. Look at running rsync every hour or so.
Why do you want a "continuous" backup and how would you use it? Do either of these approaches answer your question?

So the only method i like using and think is the simplest to use is mysqldump to backup mysql databases. Right now, im using phpmyadmin to backup the tables. Is there any way i can code a script that does it automatically (preferably everyday).
And how do i back up files exactly on my server. I have an images file that i need to back up. I'm not sure exactly how to go about backing those up.
Of course -- use MySQL Dumper. You can automatically backup your databases to another host if you like!
Features
Send dumpfiles via FTP to up to 3 different server. This is also working using the multipart feature.
Automatic file-deletion: set your own rules to delete old backups. Specify the number of backups you want to hold and let MySQLDumper automatically delete the older ones to save server webspace.
MySQLDumper can do Multipart-Backups. That means: it can automatically split the dumpfile if it gets bigger than your chosen size. When you want to restore a backup and choose the wrong part - it doesn' matter: MySQLDumper will notice that and will get the correct startfile automatically.
Security: MySQLDumper can generate a .htaccess-file to protect itself and all of your backup-files
Good reading resource for alternatives
10 Ways to Automatically & Manually Backup MySQL Database
Since Gary answered your first question, I'll answer your second.
For backing up the server:
I'm assuming you are talking about your web applications and the images contained in folders used by those applications. Source control will work for this. Set up a Subversion server or something like it.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I have to manually migrate a Joomla website to another server (shared hosting). Our current site is still an old joomla version (1.5.9) so I wanted to start from a clean install (1.5.22) and then migrate everything. Are there any components that would help with this?
I learned the DB schema is identical so I could just restore my old database but how to quickly migrate all components/modules/plugins with their settings and the general settings coz I assume those are not stored in the DB? So any component that can export-import all that?
I only have FTP access to both account btw.
I would seriously suggest downloading a copy of the site, creating a local install, doing the upgrade and then uploading the upgraded version to your new server.
Of course the complexity will depend on how frequently content change on your site.
I suggest you to use Akkeba Backup, it is a good and popular extension.
It installs as a component and provides a backup functionality at the Joomla backend (/administrator).
About the update, take a look here.
Download Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.23-Stable-Patch_Package.zip and extract it into your joomla installation, preferably on your new installation.
