Problem with that is that i and the other admins will forget be easier to to it via emils or get it to backup onto th server automaticaly

And what if one day your host goes down.. can you ever get all the info back or is it gone for ever?

You can create a cron job to run the vb_backup.sh file (You can find this in the do_not_upload folder in the VBulletin zip file you downloaded from the members area).

Your hosting (if its decent) takes a backup each day, so if your 'hosting' goes down your company would have a backup anyway.
