Vbulletin Forum Backup? How do I do it?

[ComScout.com]

Hi Guys,
My forum is getting pretty popular, and I need to know how to back up my forum www.BeautUtes.com is it just as simple as using FTP and creating a folder and my computer and pushing all the files onto it? Or do I do it through the admin section? Can someone please give me advice?

I would suggest you to back up from phpMyAdmin better the whole database, mysql isn't?

hi Billy,

if you're making changes to files as well it is best to simply back-up your whole site via cPanel's back-up feature found under "Site Management Tools -> Backup -> Generate/Download a Full Backup" (this will also back-up both databases)

to back-up your databases individually: "Site Management Tools -> Backup -> Download a SQL DB Backup"

gallery is looking good
