We take automated daily backups of your forum's files and database, encrypted and stored offsite. You can also take an on-demand backup anytime from the forum's Backups tab.
- Restores: open the Backups tab, pick a restore point and roll your forum back to it yourself — we snapshot the current state first, just in case.
- Your own copies: export anytime — download your files over SFTP and export the database from the web database manager or any MySQL client.
For anything you can't afford to lose, keep an off-platform copy too. Backups are a safety net, not a substitute.
