Best way to backup?

[Regs]

OK, forget everything I've said.

@whateveramen,

There is a known issue that may affect the use of backing up your database using the mysqldump facility through SSH. Please do a search on vB.com using the terms "bad attachments" and you will find a thread that discusses the problem and the fix supplied by Jelsoft staff. It is better to be safe than sorry in the horrific event that you are one of the so-called few affected by this bug and your forums get wiped out for whatever reason.

I hope this helps you in determining the best way to back up your forums safely and that you don't, God forbid, lose any data that is valuable to you.

Good luck!

@everyone,

This is the last time I will try and share potential problems that I am aware of when using vB and associated tasks. This is not the place for it and I apologise for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
