Use the Manager’s backup option to backup the database, and download any of the folders in /assets/ that you’ve made changes to, such as assets/images and assets/templates. Also assets/snippets, etc, if you’ve customized any of the snippets, plugins, or modules there. You should also have a copy of your manager/includes/config.inc.php file. Create a folder on your desktop, put these downloaded folders and files there along with the downloaded .sql file from the database backup, and zip it up with an appropriate name... domain-date.zip is good. If nothing changes, you don’t need to do any more backups. At most, if you’ve just edited documents, do a database backup when you’re finished. It takes less than a minute, and if nothing else changes, that’s all you need. If you’ve added images for the documents, make sure to keep a copy of them around too. Works for me
