    Backup Question

    I have been deleted by accident once before on my current host and lost all my styles and everything that I had and I don't want to take another chance incase it would ever happen again. I also have some mods done to the forum from vbulletin.org that I would like to not loose also. Can anyone tell me what files I really need to keep backed up just incase anything was to ever happen to my server. The hacks I added arent that big of a deal but the style I have is important and I dont really want to loose it I put a lot of time into it. Thanks!

    Backup all your vB files, and the database on a regular basis.

      So there isn't a set of files which store my style at all that I could backup? Also how do I backup my database?

        No, the style along with all the data is kept in the database.

            Yes, cPanel has an option to backup your databases.
