Thanks.

How do you back up the entire database?

Via the database backup manager in the MyBB ACP, or via phpMyAdmin.

Can't find it...

ACP > Tools & Maintenance > Database Backups...

It's not there:

Your using CreateMyBB. You need to get support from them as we don't support it on these forums.

The obvious reason is probably to stop you leaving their services.
