Backing up phpBB Data

Applies to phpBB version 3 or greater

In order to back up the phpBB forums, you need to have administrator access to them. Log in as administrator, and access the administrator control panel.

After logging in to the administrator control panel, Select Maintenance, and on the left, select Backup. Select the options given below, and hit Submit. phpBB will then send you a file that can be imported into another forum.
