I tried create a backup of my database through ACP. But once after downloading the file when I opened it. It looks gibberish.

Here is screenshot. I tried opening it via Notepad++ after extracting it.

If you are using cPanel with hosting, use Backup Wizard and take the DB backup. It is much safe and easier that way.

You can try this program TeamSQL and see how it looks in there.

Is it like Notepad++??
I understand that there are a lot of way to make a backup, but if you cant make it from your ACP, you have to ffind and fix the problem, because the problem is not in be able to make a backup, but in some kind of unknown bug and maybe you have more bugs you still dont know?
I would advice you backup you files and reupload your clean backup (I hope you have one).

It's better... in my opinion. 

Try it... it's FREE.

I don't know the reason. But everytime I make backup through Mozilla browser its gibberish.

But if I do the process through Chrome then its okay. Huh
