VB MySQL backup question

[hunter22375]

When I backed up my VB for the first time....I just clicked "GO" with the option "Yes to all" used. A .sql file was created and I saved it to my hard drive on my computer. Then, I looked below and saw I could save the backup to a place in the root of my server for VB. Should I do both...or, do I need to do both? Was saving the file to my computer sufficient? Meaning everything done (threads/posts) to date is save there and can be reinstaed if needed? I know..dumb question But I wanna make sure I don't lose all my hard work. Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter where you save the backup. I personally save my backups on the server and on my computer for redundancy.

Note that the Admin CP backup method gets increasingly unreliable the larger your database gets. This is the recommended backup method:
