Hi

What are the easiest ways to perform a backup of your forum? My forums are getting larger and I think it's about time I should back everything up.

Thanks.
You could either do it manually or setup a cron job to automatically do it.

But how would I do it manually?
Go into your ACP -> Select "Backup" from the menu and then select the tables you want to backup (all of them usually) and press the submit button and it should generate a backup for you. You should be able to restore it with phpMyAdmin.
