When you say website backups you mean just the folders and files correct.?
If so that does not include databases.
See if you have a option on whm to backup and restore databases.
I know cpanel does.

PHPadmin is okay for small databases but it usually has a very small kb limit to import back to restore.
Which means even if it works to export it probably will fail if you need to restore your database.
of course the best way is if they provide you command line access to your server.
