Hmm i just was wondering something about backup. I dont have backup on my forum. That is bad right?
How to setup it? Can any one give me tutorial? i cant find it...
What do you mean you don't 'have' it?? There's no option in the Tools & Maintenance section of the ACP in the menu on the left??
You got to System Health -> Database Backup -> New Backup

1) Select all tables
2) Save Method Download
3) Preform Backup

Now do another safety backup:

1) Select all tables
2) Backup directory
3) Preform Backup

Hopefully that was clear enough!

So i have one backup on forum and one in my computer. That is good?
Yup, some hosts like The Forum Forge also take every 2 to 4 hour backups to an offsite server in Georgia Toungue. But enough advertising ^.^ I am glad it worked.

If something happend to forum how i can backup it? What i need to do?
Import it via phpMyAdmin.
For how much time is good to update backup?
Open your cPanel -> phpMyAdmin ->

1) Select database on left hand
2) Click the Explort tab
3) Click Go
Depends how busy your forum is. If you CHMOD ./admin/backups/ to 777 you can use the backup task to automatically make one every 24 hours or something.
