324 CHAPTER 10 SECURING AND MAINTAINING PHPBB Figure 10-25. User pruning, a new feature in phpBB 3.0 Backing Up and Restoring Databases in phpBB 3.0 Finally, the backup and restore functions have undergone improvements. You now can compress data in bzip format, which is another popular and tight compression algorithm on UNIX machines. A great new feature for those with limited bandwidth has been introduced as well. You no longer need to download backups to your hard drive, as phpBB 3.0 offers the usage of a /store directory, where you can direct your backups to be saved. Dial-up users, rejoice! You also have the option to include or exclude (leading to a significant size savings) the search index. Note To use the /store directory to hold your database backups, you will need to make it writable. You can do this using your FTP program or by issuing the chmod ugo+w command at a UNIX command line. Restoration is still as simple as in earlier versions, with the additional option to load backups directly from the server.
