I didn't get to see the email errors until today when they were sent to me from a different email.

backing up is VERY important. in my opinion if you're a webmaster small or large getting used to creating backups is one of the first things you should learn.

essentially when you do a backup, all you're doing is downloading your website files to your computer, and downloading your website database to your computer.

You can download your site's files/folders via FTP, I use filezilla.

You can download your site's database via your PhpMyAdmin on your sever, select the database associated with your forum and export it.

Hope that helps, there's plenty of info regarding how to do a backup scattered throughout this forum and on the net, get in the habit. Create a folder on your harddrive just for backups and keep a copy of everything you have online, offline. that's just my .02 cents.
