Without knowing what your hosting control panel is it is hard to give definite instructions. Most of the popular control panels however will have an area where you can make a backup of your site or some directories and your database.

For example, on Cpanel it's under a section called Files and you can use either the Backups or Backups Wizard that is offered. These will enable you to generate a backup to reside with your website and restore that back up and enable you to download a backup to your computer if you wish.

you have an R1soft backup system, so your website has a backup copy made once a day.
To restore any files, just click on the R1soft icon in Cpanel, find the file you want to restore and click restore.
You can restore your whole website using that function aswell

great

Seamus - twice a day  thumbs up

However with my middlename being belt & braces it is always worthwhile obtaining an emergency copy of your site to store locally - you can do this through the backup procedure in Cpanel - do a full backup as this allows the host to do a full restore of the site - this creates a backup on the server **IMPORTANT*** download this to your local machine via FTP as there is no point in retaining a backup on a server that the site is on.
