Hi, I would like to know if its possible to store the member database as a backup just in case that I need to re-do the board but import the member list back in?

Sure, just copy everything in the Members folder.. you'll need to update it periodically, and be sure and transfer the files in ascii.

Also make shure you back up the vars_forums.cgi file a long with your Forum0x folders.
If you forget to include that file in your backup..well I guess it will be a loooooong time until you see your forums again. laugh
