    I want to backup the WordPress database but find five in all, varying names, number of tables and database sizes. These are in MariaDB. There is a main site with a subdomain. I have had a few attempt trying to clone the main site to the subdomain which could explain the number of databases.

    How can I find out which database is the current one used by the main domain please?

    you could check the database details in your wp-config.php file. related article

    you could look in the options table of the database to see which website is noted for the “siteurl“

    Take a look at the wp-config.php file via FTP. This normally contains the database connection data used by your project.

    Incidentally, you can make backups more easily with one of the many plugins: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search/backup/ – you don’t have to search for databases in your hosting.
