Could someone tell me what files I should back up so that in the event that something terrible happens I can restore?
I didnt do the initial install, but i have taken over the site and want to make sure I have a back up before i try to do anything to crazy.
I might even upgrade to 6.x
Thanks any help would be much appreciated.

Yeah I just downloaded it to C:ubb then copied the DL in it's entirety to C:ubb2. I can modify one and still have a copy. NEVER ALTAR THE RAW FILES!!!!

I just tarball my members directory, ubbcgi directory and my ubb threads directory.
Then they can be easily extracted using tar which will restore all the directory structure, file permissions etc...
I can't afford a good signature editor

I make backups regularly but they get bigger and bigger.
Isn't it so that you don't need to backup the HTML files but just the .cgi files in the noncgi dir. Can't you restore your HTML-files with the ubb/forum1/*.cgi files?
I believe so...
