+If you use a recent enough version of Dolibarr, just log into Dolibarr with an administrator account (only admins can use system tools).
+Then go to '''Home -> System tools -> Backups'''.

''Alternative'': the default method '''MySQL Dump (mysqldump)''' also needs that you have access to the mysqldump binary in execution on your server. If you are on a shared host that disable this access, you can try another method by setting MAIN_FEATURES_LEVEL=1, and then a new method '''MySQL Dump (php)''' will appear. This method is still experimental, so please try it first by yourself by making a backup and then restoring it on a local, non production server to check that your data is correctly saved.
