I'd like to say one thing. I'll probably join but to help (that wasn't the one thing :o)

Where you recommend people not to take backups just because the host does, I'd like to refute that. It is imperitive that the user always has their own backup. I backup all my forums daily and a separate one for monthly and weekly. So I always have a restore point. I keep the daily ones back a week, weekyl ones a month, and all monthly ones. I've seen forums go tits up becuase they didn't have a backup and thought their host did. Hosts backups can become corrupt very easily. And remember, I guarantee if you look at your hosts' ToS, it says in there that they are not responsible for backups even if they make them. Some hosts also only do backups for their purposes and charge for restoring them. It's always better to just make your own.

As stated in the article I recommended to still take backups if your web host is unreliable. For example with my current host I been with for at least 2 years now and they take 24 hourly backups which I can access but for my VPS I take my own backups.


Anyways thanks for the feedback so far!
