How to backup a forum

  1. Go to Admin → Maintenance → Forum Maintenance
  2. In the area «Forum Maintenance – Backup Database» hit the «Download» button at the right side of the bottom of the page.
  3. Save the file into your computer and you’re ready.

The file you saved is a backup of the forum’s database. It doesn’t contain attached files, photos, etc. You’ll have to download these manually.
