I wanted to ask how to take a proper backup ?
Do we have to disable the plugins before taking backup ?
while restoring would it affect anyhow ?

in my experience , there is no problem if we dont disable the plugins before taking backup ,

Ok thanks for the reply .
i was concerned as my DB is nearly 98 mb
modforum.net

in my experiencing while restoring if any plugin missing from the time of backup ,,,
just not work the missing pluging.. same time available plugin run smoothly ,,, no further problem

Ok other question:
Do i have to take the backup only from admin cp
or also from cpanel ?

Back up from AdminCP, and Backup of your forum directory...

if you take backup from AdminCp mean you only take backup of mysql data base of your mybb forum ,

and if you take backup from Cpanel mean you can take backup of your entire site including files,settings...etc

man checkout http://modforum.net/online.php
all visitors showing 404 error ... if you continue to disable seo plugin , you will loose google reputation

So if I take the backup of the Cpanel
I don't need to take backup from admincp

And yes idk why but when i check everyone's profile
I see 404 page
any suggestion to correct that?

Ok thanks .
the forum directory means the cpanel >backup and restore one ?

I wrote two very detailed guides on how do do this (database and files) using cPanel and phpMyAdmin.
