Where is my database located?

I have a selling site and want to make a copy of my item database. I personally did not create the site so not sure where everything is located in the files. Can someone lead me to where I need to look to find my database(s)? Any help is greatly appreciated. Rick

Your database is located on a server as data, not necessarily files. That said, it is possible to download the database. Might I suggest the Backup MYSQL plugin (fairly easy to install) http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=7

Otherwise you can back it up from within the cPanel's myphpadmin area where you can export your database.
