If you are on a free host justin, you probably cant back up, if your not, Go into your ACP, Maintenance, Backup, select all, Submit 🙂

I backup whenever i remember to -lol- , Once a week, sometimes a lot more though.

You should be able to back up because you are obviously using proper phpBB3.

I backup my promotion forum once a day. With my bigger forums I do 3 backups a day. All my backups are done automatically via cron. I then test the backups on a test server. I usually keep 2 weeks worth of backups.

I recommend for all backups to be done via SSH/Telnet. If you have a large forum don't use the back up feature on your forum.

Hi,

I was wondering how when you guys backup your forum database and when you backup your forum files? Not just whether you do it periodically but when do you backup as a precaution? Before administrating forums or users? When installing mods?

You should backup everyday
