Do a complete system backup in CPanel. It will save and compress everything. Download it to your localhost system. Uncompress it. The database backup will be an .sql file in the mysql folder. Your site files will be in the public_html folder, usually under homedir folder. I use this technique all the time and it has never failed to get my stuff for me.

Actually, that is the WORST option of all. It is unreliable and breaks often in the middle of the backup without telling you so you don't find out about it until you try to restore it and it fails on the error message that got stored from the failed backup. VERY NO GOOD!
