All script applications including forums or virtual stores keep their information inside a database - a group of cells and tables containing all the website data including items, prices, comments, and many others. Whenever you open a specific page, the script connects to the database and retrieves the needed info, then shows it. The intermediary software that connects the script and the database is called a database management system and one of the most well-known ones is MySQL. The latter is frequently used simply because it operates on various platforms (Linux, UNIX, Windows) and with a variety of scripting languages (PHP, Java, Perl, Python), not mentioning its wonderful functionality even with massive databases. A lot of well-known platforms like Joomla™ or WordPress use MySQL databases to keep their content.

In the same way you could also edit specific cells or tables in any of your databases. Setting up a backup is also simple and requires simply a click on the Backup button for a certain database. This function allows you to keep a copy of a website on your computer or to export the content of a given database, modify it on your end using some software, and then import it back.
