Important: Take a full backup of your database and a copy of var/lib/mysql/ before taking a backup.
Make sure to stop mysql before taking a backup of var/lib/mysql/
We highly recommend upgrading it to MariaDB 10.2 MariaDB 10.1 or MariaDB 10.0 MariaDB 10.2 is the latest version so here we are upgrading MySQL to MariaDB on the cPanel server.
If you already have a database on the server take a copy of var/lib/mysql/ you can use this using below commands.
cp -rvf /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql_backup
and
mysqldump --all-databases > all-databases.sql
