    Hi.
    My forum is hosted on a free supplier, and they blocked the backup funcionality.

    Do you know if I can retrieve all my contents (i'm the forum admin) and uploaded elsewhere?

    Cheers,
    A2day

    If you are allowed to upload your php scripts you could create a script that selects the entire contents on each table and creates a CSV file or something like that that you can then copy.

    Do you have access to the database via PHPmyAdmin? If so, just "Export" and it'll save all DB content to a .txt file, which you can just Import later on if something goes wrong.
