Akeeba once installed and configured is a one-click process. In my opinion, it is far easier than messing around with phpMyAdmin (which of course has its place). The Akeeba Pro version even offers auto-scheduled backups with the set-up of CRON jobs. You only have to download one file - the JPA archive, which contains the backup of both system files and the database. Use the Akeeba Kickstart utility to restore a site either to another web host or your localhost
(I assume"Laragon" is a local web server suite. Personally, I use WAMPServer for testing/development).
Read their comprehensive documentation: https://www.akeeba.com/documentation.html and for Kickstart, https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/ak ... ation.html.
Your backup method is fine, but many on the forum recommend Akeeba.
