Is the Backup in /admin/backups (including the uploads) enough to restore 100% of my forum?
I’m thinking of disabling both my forums until Jan, so I can first focus on other priorities and avoid distractions.
If I just install Discourse again from scratch, then enable Restore:
and restore it from that backup, will my forum go back to being what it is today?

you need a copy of your app.yml ideally too. so that if you migrate to a new server you have all that config ready to go.
also make sure you are either using S3 uploads, or you have all your uploads saved in your backup.

Good tip. Thanks!
Yes, I always include that with the backups.
So I guess I’m good to go:
- app.yml
- Backup file + uploads
Appreciate it, Robert!
