Forum backups, trust your provider or take control?

No way would I bet my forum on my hosting provider’s backup reliability alone! While many hosts offer backups as part of their service, trusting them entirely is a risky move—especially for something as valuable as a thriving community.

I’d always implement my own backup strategy, which includes:
  • Automated daily backups stored on an offsite location (cloud storage, personal server, or external drive).
  • Manual backups at key milestones, especially before major updates or changes.
  • Testing backups periodically to ensure they actually work when needed.
At Forum-Promotion.NET, the Best Webmaster, Admin, & Internet Marketing Forum, we always encourage forum admins to take control of their data security. Losing a forum to a bad backup situation would be a nightmare—better safe than sorry!

How often do you back up your forum, and do you have a preferred method? ??
