Is there a way for me to copy an entire database in cPanel?
- Go to cPanel > MySQL Databases and Create a New Database with the name you want.
- Go to phpMyAdmin and in the left menu click the original database you want to copy (do not click on any tables inside).
- Look to the top tabs and choose Operations.
- Enter the new database name (full name e.g. username_databasename) next to Copy database to: and uncheck "CREATE DATABASE before copying". Only "Structure and data" should be selected.
- Note: You cannot use Rename database to: because you cannot create databases in phpMyAdmin.
- Click the GO button in the same box.
Or you can open a support ticket with the details, and our administrators will do it.
Is there a way for me to copy an entire database from another server?
You will need to export the original database, and import to a new database.
How to export?
- Go to existing database in phpMyAdmin
- Click Export at the top
- Leave the settings as they are, click the "Save as file" checkbox and click Go
- This will download a .sql file to your computer
