 Backing up Joomla can seem like a pretty daunting task, but it's really straight forward if you know a couple things:
- FIRST: Why are you backing your site up?
- SECOND: What are you backing up 1) Joomla site files and 2) the Joomla database
Most times a Joomla site can recover with a current backup of your database, most of what you use on a Joomla site is your database. The site files are more important when you're adding new Joomla extensions, new images or editing your Joomla template look.
FIRST: Why are you backing your site up?
"Why am I backing up?" it's a very important question because it may take as little as 2 minutes to properly backup your site's database, or 20 minutes to do a full site backup. I will give a few senerios on what you should backup and when.

This tutorial assumes you've used or know what Joomla modules & module positions are.
 Joomla has a really nice way of viewing module positions from the front end of your Joomla site. This will take out guess work and looking through your Joomla template to figure out where to display your module. Just add:
?tp=1 or &tp=1
to the end of your url. So your url might look something like this:
http://www.doggydish.com/?tp=1
or
http://doggydish.com/index.php?option=com_someting&tp=1
Using this method of identifying module positions you'll notice the "Raw Outline" in the Example Image. this would not normally be visible without "tp=1" in the URL. Some other common module positions include: top, bottom, left, right and footer.
