Take the following steps to backup your website
Site Backup and Restore Tool
1 - Log into your control panel
2 - Under files section click on the icon that says "Site Backup & Restore"
3 - Choose the option to backup all your files, and MySQL Databases
Unzip the Files
Each template is a collection of many different files, there are the images, the style pages, the content pages, the pages that define other pages. To make the download and install process simple the templates are placed (in the correct structure) in one file called a .zip file. This file contains every file within it, so instead of having to download each file, there is only one file to download.
Now that you have the .zip file you need to do whats called "Extract" or get those individual files out so you can upload them. To do so you need a program that opens .zip files. Some operating systems already have one built in, but if it does not you can download a free file called WinRAR. Download WinRar Here
1 - Find the template file and open it using your favorite program
2 - Click the "Extract" button and choose where you want the files to be placed (where on your computer you will be able to find them after)
3 - The files should be extracted and in the correct structure. Now you just have to install them
Using your favorite FTP client upload your files
Now that you have the files on your computer, we need to get them onto the server, or website. To do this we will use a method called FTP or file transfer protocal. Its a way we can upload files directly from your computer to the server.
1 - Open your favorite FTP client (if you do not have one I would recommend using FileZilla. Download FileZilla Here
2 - If you have not done so you will have to connect you compter to the server. You should be able to create a FTP login user and password in your control panel (if you can not contact your host) use that user name and password and the direct address to the server (so it knows which server to connect to) and connect to the server (once again contact your host if you can not figure this out)
3 - Find the tb_sempre folder and upload its contents to your server in the directory where your store is placed.
