1 Backup of the Forum program and its accessories

It is recommended that you download or copy all the directories and files in the forum directory to where you want to back up, and if you have not made great changes to the Forum program and templates, just back up the attachments (attachment directory) and the config.inc.php database configuration file.

Our usual backup methods for forum programs and their attachments are: Create a new directory Oldbbs in the original forum root directory, and then move all other files except attachments and config.inc.php to the Oldbbs directory. Of course, you can also move all forum files to the Oldbbs directory for backup.

Note: If Ucenter is installed in discuz! Forum root, you need to keep the directory, that is, do not need to move the Ucenter program file directory, so that it is still discuz! root directory.

2 Database backup

Standalone host directly to MySQL's data directory copies a copy of the current discuz! 7.0 use of the database can, remember to stop the MySQL service before the copy, otherwise it will cause damage to the backup data.

Virtual host users recommend direct backup in the background of the Forum, with the Administrator login Forum background => Tools => database => Backup: Recommended Backup "Forum all Data", as shown:

If you want to make additional demands on the backup data, click on the "More Options" in the diagram above to make your selections as needed:
