Once you choose the database needed you'll get a pop-up window offering you to save the database dump (a database dump contains a record of the table structure and/or the data from a database and is usually in the form of a list of SQL statements.) It is being generated in .sql.gz format. Save this SQL backup file to be able to restore in the case of data loss.
