the forum. it's a php script. you upload it, and use it to administer your mysql databases. Spoiler: the game.

How about you ask the person who is hosting you how you should backup your mysql database? (=

RE: how to backup a forum
if you have access to shell on your server, type this at the prompt:
mysqldump -u [username] -p [databasename] > [backupfile.sql]
and to restore:
mysql -u [username] -p [database_to_restore] < [backupfile]

Do you have an administration page on your website? Like Cpanel or if you type /admin does it bring up site management?
How did you create your SQL database in the first placE?

RE: how to backup a forum
Who is your host? Most servers have it installed already.

RE: how to backup a forum
if you have cpane, you dont need phpmyadmin again. Just go into mysql and at the bottom of the page there is a link to phpmyadmin. You can then import stuff into the database by going to "SQL" and then importing the file.

RE: how to backup a forum
Don't login to the forum, you can't backup there. I've got no experience with myBB, but from what I've heard. I know some versions of phpmyadmin though.
Login to cpanel, click on phpmyadmin, click on export, select the forumdatabase, save as file(if you want it on your computer), select compression type if you want and click go.
Maybe you also need to click on export extended inserts or complete insert, but I think you only need that if you want to backup without downloading
