Below are the steps to do so:
1- Click Backups in the navigation panel

4- Verify that your new backup appears in the Database Backup List
5- Click the Download link, to store your backup externally
6- Click Save in the pop-up window to store the backup

You can use a database backup from another unit. To do this use:
Backups -> Recover

You need to Activate the configuration to apply the changes.
The database files backups are stored here:
