I only ask you two questions to understand better.

1. The database is the only thing you need to restore everything right? The backup that is done daily through the settings, does the backup only of the database?
2. Should the forum be in read-only mode when making the backup to the database? Or can it be done without any problem, at any time?

Really thanks in advance!
