I've read that , but doesn't tell me how to make a backup file I can save myself on my computer . I want a copy of my whole site settings and files and members .... Is that not possible . ?

hello

Forumotion does this for you...those files can be accessed by the founder in the forum utilities: https://www.forumotion.com/utils

So your saying I can't have my own file ? I realize that they save a monthly backup / restore . But I want my own copy
I used to be able to do it on other sites , and if paying , really , I should have access to it . But if I can't ok then np thanks

if you mean a copy of your forum database then I am sorry you can not
