forumbackup files

[yaku]

Hi, my service plan allows 5 GB worth of disk space, and I'm using 4.7 GB as of now. I have these three files taking up a ton of space....are all of them needed? I assume they are just old backups for the site but don't want to delete any of them in case I'm wrong. Thanks!

Pretty sure you can delete the 2008 ones and keep the latest one (I assume you have a 2009 backup). Besides, if anything happens, you will want to revert back to the closest backup in terms of date.

With that you should be backing up daily and downloading them to home. Backing up to the web server is about pointless if the server itself has an issue.
