Does Forumer have backup + restore for my forum?

They are backed up normally, but you cannot backup the forum mannually.

You got yourself a Nintendo Gamecube?
You into Custom Robo?

I wanna move to the new host. So I have to do everything again? Also, I don't know how to make the "Group Icon" appear for each type of group. Ex: I wanna see group icon below user's avatar to know who is in an admin group, moderator group...

They don't backup any forums unless there are at least 500 members.

The group icons are uploaded to your emoticons folder, then added by editing the usergroup and putting the url ../emoticons/nameofimage.gif where it says group icon.

This backup-restore request is a regular question and it would be very nice if it could be integrated somewhere in the Admin CP.

I also think the current demand to have 500 members before you are able to take a backup is somewhat outrageous.

I believe the backup-restore feature is currently not enabled because of security reasons.
I do hope forumer will find a way round these security issues so that a backup/restore of a forum will be possible, after all the data which is on your forum is very important to you as an admin, and it is a shame to see your forum busted by a hacker.

If the security issue only occurs with the restore then maybe it's an option to enable the backup for a start?
