    Backup

    Hello, Was wondering if someone can help me. When I backup my forum in Cpanel I click YES to all Database tables to include in backup? I then click the "GO" and save

    Will this save everything on my forum including all the messages my members wrote that day etc?.

    Also my forum is intergrated with my website so when i save my forum what happens to my website? Is that saved too.

    Regards

    Hass

    That will backup the database (which holds all the data - posts, forums, users, settings, etc.) but it does not backup the vB files.

      hello

      When you mean it won't backup files. What do you mean by this? What files?

      regards

        Your vB and web files of course. That option only backs up the database.
