    Zen Cart doesn't provide phpMyAdmin. Your hosting company has a control panel that typically provides database-access controls, which is also where you should see something akin to phpMyAdmin which will let you access the raw database data to do backups, etc.
    You might need to contact your hosting company if you need help finding it.

    They also have full backups,
    i just tried it and reloaded it back up still didn't save my zen cart settings,
    Should the SQl save out your zen cart settings,

    You need access to phpMyAdmin, or something else that provides you with a complete backup of the database. And "Yes" it should contain all of your Zen Cart settings.

    Folders and Files you can just download via FTP.
