    What is the best way to backup the mySQL database for phpBB? Should I use the backup function in the phpBB Admin control panel, or is it better to back up by logging into my hosting accountant and downloading my database via myPHPAdmin?

    Thanks for your help.

    I maybe wrong but I don't think it's the same if you have added custom tables to the phpBB database. I think backing up with phpMyAdmin is the best option.

    Yeah, you true in this case. In addition, you have many options when you use phpMyAdmin.
