Backup the files via FTP and your database with phpmyadmin. Please read the FAQ before you post.

backing up the files on a nix system using the shell:
tar -czvf coppermine.tar /usr/local/home/sitename.com/htdocs/coppermine/
creates an archive of the given path in the actual directory with the name coppermine.tar   
extract with: tar -xvf coppermine.tar
--> this file you can download to your local system

backup of the mysql db using the shell:
mysqldump -u dbusername -p --opt dbname > dbname.bak.dump
dbusername = your MySQL database Username
dbname = name of your database (eg. cpg1410)
example: mysqldump -u Stramm -p --opt cpg1410 > cpg1410.bak.dump

instead of cpg144.bak.dump you can use a path as well /path/to/your_backup_file/cpg1410.bak.dump

Enter -> now type your db password -> inow you've the backup file in your www root cpg1410.bak.dump

restore: mysql -u dbuser -p dbname < cpg1410.bak.dump


to find this again some keywords: restore database backup shell dump

Side note: The shell method explained by Stramm is very fast and failsafe, only drawback is that most users on shared hosting don't have shell access, at least on budget webhosting.
