    Its a simple enough question and something that people definately tend to forget about - im terrible for it!

    So when do you back up your directory database and when was the last time?

    once a month for a directory is good, for my forum once a week, people would kill me if they lost posts

    directories you might want to do weekly if you have many paid submissions, its more ethical

    All accounts are automatically backed up from my VPS and saved to another ftp space every other day.

    For reseller accounts, I rely on host's nightly backup and ocassional self backup.
