Using SSL wise for vBulletin?
 
I have SSL/HTTPS enabled throughout my entire forum. I haven't had any issues yet, and I have a few mods

Is running SSL with vbulletin a good idea? I have a legit SSL Certificate from comodo, so there's no problem there. Are there any downsides for running SSL with vBulletin?

I have another question.

How can I setup an Automated Backup of my forum, including Database and Website Root Directory? I am on a Windows Server, Windows Server 2008R2. Is there any software that can do this, or maybe any PHP Scripts? Would setting up a Cron task work for backups on a windows server? I'm not sure about this because I never setup Auto backups on a windows server before.

There is nothing wrong with you running SSL on your vbulletin script at all...I do and have no problems at all ..

It's always wise to use HTTPS instead of HTTP.
Regarding the automated backup, for an other project I use task scheduler as well.

What you have to do is setup a new task and let it call a .bat file, in this .bat file you can simply use mysqladmin to backup the database and a basic copy script to backup the website. Or even better, rar the files afterwards to save some disk space.

Oh ok, that sounds great! I will look into creating batch files for backup with mysqladmin. Thank you!
