You can't save it...btw.

It's automatically saved,and you can restore your forum by choosing the date you wanted when your forum used to be displayed like that.

Also to add to that, you can't take all the data of your ForuMotion site, and keep it so you can move it to another host in the future... this is just not possible.

But, yes, you can restore your site, if it is deleted, or also maybe hacked and you might want to restore it.
