Whenever I download my database backup from phpMyAdmin it gets stuck at 15MB. How do I download it successfully?

Use the new **Database Backup** module in the admin sidebar. Click the 'Exclude logs' checkbox to skip heavy tables like system logs, and click **Download Backup**. It runs via pure PHP streams and completes instantly.
