Default Backing up Board

Can someone let me know how I can back up my board? I thought I had backed it up but I think it just backed up the settings. I am not 100% sure.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Now I just have to work out how to update, which I am very very nervous about doing. I couldn't even install the original and paid for it to be done.

Again thank you!

No problem

Have you checked this out? http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...your-4.0-Forum < That should help .

Plus the best part? If your going to 4.1 the upgrade script was recently refined and it's so simple it almost hurts lol .

The version I have is 4.0.5

To upgrade to 4.1.0 PL2, is that just one upgrade I need to do? Or do I have to upgrade other versions to get to that version?

Again thank you so much for your help. It is so appreciated.

The upgrade script should take you to 4.1 just fine, it's going to simply upgrade to each new version as required but you should only be worried about it upgrading you to 4.1 .

Fyi though custom styles etc may need some adjusting after going from 4.0.5 to 4.1 just be sure you backup the files, the database and the style beforehand just in case .

The video was great and easy to follow. I followed each step but I still have 4.0.5 version what I began with. I don't understand where I went wrong. If you have any suggestions, I would be very interested to hear them.

I also left this message on the video forum too

Thank you in advance!

I might add that its a known fact that using phpmyadmin to export your forum database will sometimes cause you to have an incomplete backup of your forum especially if your forum is really large and has a large database. Your browser will time out when using phpmyadmin and get an incomplete backup. The best way to get a complete backup of your forum is to use either MySQLDumper or use the CPanel built in option. 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.
