If you have cpanel you can perform these functions from within the UI itself. Mysql - Backup databases - make sure you are logged into the user account. You can always cron it with a mysqldump command alternately.

Login to WHM, locate Backup -> Configure Backup then fill out the options that suit your needs, choose "Per Account and Entire MySQL Directory" then at the bottom it states "Select Specific Users" then there is a button to the right of this, select your desired users then hit the Save button. Pretty straight forward.

You can do your backup quite easily. Account backups can be performed using the cPanel -> Backups functionality for your hosting account. If your account is not too big in size you can perform a full account backup just with one click. If the account is too large for the full automatic backup the files and the databases should be backed up separately. In this case you would need to know what your web site consist of and thus what should be backed up/restored. Usually sites are composed of files and databases. You must take care of them all if you want to have your site exactly the way it has been before.
