How to create a backup of attachments (Files & Images)?

[ChiNa]

Dear vB Support!

My webhosting company does not provide file backups, it means I have to backup my files in Parts, and Its really annoying me because I can only back up 20 MBS at a time. The only time I backup my forum is when I know we have had many Attachment Uploads, such as (Files & Images)!

So if I can save time by only backing up my ATTACHMENTS instead of the whole site then that would save me lots of work! But just to make sure, Which Folders I should take a BACKUP.

Ps, my attachments are being saved a "File" on my FTP ROOT in "Attachments" folder, and not in Database!

Could you please confirm and tell me WHICH of the folders on my FTP I should backup when I know we have had many Attachment uploads as Files and Images?

Thank you very much in advance!

If your attachments are in the filesystem in a directory called /Attachments, then you need to back up the contents of that directory if you wish to have a backup of your Attachments.
