There is an extension called Akeeba back up on extensions.joomla.org. Download it, install and create your backup easily. Download the .jpa file and use the kickstart tool(from Akeeba too) to restore to your local environment. It handles the file/db backup and restoration seamlessly. Holla if you need help.

Safe!

Go for akeeba i have used it on many of my joomla websites and it works!

Akeeba is powerful. I upload my newly designed using akeeba backed up jpa files and it never fails!
