I know there is the manual backup of your databases already.
It works great. I have had to use it to restore my databases on several occasions.
What about creating a plugin or even a update that offers automated backups of your databases either to forums backup folder or via email or whatever with your choosing of intervals..
The only reason i ask is as my server (hosted locally) has been nothing short of unreliable lately. I have been backing up my databases nightly to avoid lost data but its proving to be a bit of a pain. I know i can run a cron job or script from my server to backup my databases via the mysql dump command or whatever but given the backup you have already available which works great i just though it would be a great addon to the MyBB project.
Big fan of the MyBB forum.
