Topic: Is there a way to back up an entire Forum?

Just thinking that if my site is hacked, it would be nice to have a periodic backup.
Is there a way to download an entire forum?

Thanks,
Gene

I would suggest the database management plugin, the backup plugin has had some issues

Just to be clear, the Backup plugin lets you save your database only.  You should also save the files from your forum directory, especially if you have installed any mods.
