Wordpress backup

[Tackle_Berry]

Hi,

I have been working for months on a big ecommerce site using Wordpress and Woocommerce, I have been making backups using "Wordpress backup to Dropbox" plugin as well as "BackUpWordPress", but stupidly I never tested these out when first starting the website. I back up with these everyday without knowing if they will work, should I ever need them. Does anyone use these? Also if anyone has any better backup solutions I would like to know.

Thanks, sorry forgot to mention.

I do also do the following weekly:

-Drop and drag everything from the websites root directory in FTP to a local drive.

-In cPanel X run a full website backup (includes Home Directory, MySQL DB's, Email configs) this zip file goes to the server home and then I download it to local system.

I don't even know where I would start if I wanted to restore using the cPanel backup.
