Step 1: Export the website database<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once you have logged into the website cpanel, click to open the phpMyAdmin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside the phpMyAdmin tool, select the database that you want to copy (on the left) and then click the Export tab and choose the SQL format option.

Select the new empty database, click the “Import” tab, then “Choose File”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After selecting the exported database, click “Go”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the import process completes, there should be a success message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Success!
