the old school way is always the best way... and it works perfectly. why? because with phptriad, if there is a new php, mysql or apache release, you must uninstall everything and lose all your settings and data.
in my humble oppinion, phptriad is for lazy people who dont like to take the time to configure their server the right way. if you use phptriad, you will never learn anything about any config file and settings related to apache, php and mysql.

[high]remember, if is not working is because you missed a step.[/high] just an example, 99% of the people forget to restart Apache after they set all their options. this tutorial worked perfectly on every single pc i install it, so it must work also in yours.

1. *dies* That is the same point Firefly brought up. You see, you cannot use an SSH client like Putty to backup your forums installed on a localhost, like my pc. It wont connect for purposes that are probably logical--one being it is my pc and making a connection through putty to the very computer you type on seems silly. Still, I need a way to make a reliable backup so that when I finish with my forums on my computer I can transfer the backup to my webserver.

2. If I had a real server I would more than likely go your way Nakkid with doing by hand, ofcourse It's just my crappy Compaq Laptop and the only real purpose of it right now is for testing hacks on my vbulletin. Same reason I would never use a wysiwyg over regular text editors for any programming/authoring.
