create a tar.gz file of the public_html folder and the database with the command

tar -zcvf tar-archive-name.tar.gz source-folder-name

Once created , download the file to your local machine with either FTP or Secure Shell FTP client.

I ran this command for a domain, it took long time to generate a zip file and looking like a full backup and pretty weight for the zip file.

It is a full backup and I can use to restore from cPanel control panel?

Code: 
[root@server ~]# /scripts/pkgacct mydomain
[2017-04-17 02:40:58 +0000] pkgacct started.
[2017-04-17 02:40:58 +0000] pkgacct version 10 - user : mydomain - tarball                                                         : 1 - target mysql : default - split: 0 - incremental: 0 - homedir: 1 - mailman:                                                          1 - backup: 0 - archive version: 3 - running with uid 0

Yes this is a full account backup which can be used to restore the account including the databases as you can see from the log,

No @24x7csm example will only archive the public_html without databases or emails, yes you would need to use phpmyadmin to export the database if using this manual method.

Hello,
There could be various method for backups .
Make tar of your public_html file and take back up of database and then can send these file to desired location (server) through scp or download the backed-up files through FTP .
