I have a tutorial on the cpanel option here: http://www.skinsnstyles.com/xenforo/...via-cpanel.26/ Its remarkably easy to use Cpanel for the complete backup if your host has allowed this function. if not you can usually get them to turn it on for you. To restore the database from the Cpanel backup you can use BigDump usually.

Thank you I will have a look at that. I really don't know what I am doing. I am very new to this sort of thing and I paid originally for the board to be uploaded. I have never done a update. I even had to download a FTP program as I have never used one before. I am a true dummy when it comes to this sort of thing!

Maybe that is where I went wrong. Now come to think of it, maybe it was the patch that I download and not the whole of the upgrade. I was very confused where to download it from in the members section.
