    I'm no webmaster, but I know a little. What I want to do is back-up the contents that on my FTP to my PC. Do I just drag and drop or what? I have controlpanelx if that helps?

    Thanks. I was speaking to someone about this today and I was saying I just wanted to make a back-up of my site files and database (posts/threads/users etc), he said that all I'd need to do is copy the public_html files to my PC. I already have a daily back-up cron/scheduled task set up that backs up my forum to file on my server, so that's all I need.

    I'm doing this just incase.
