Hi,
before updating to 7.1.1 you may want to make a backup.
In Help section you find the below on how to do a simple backup.
Most people will find that it will timeout and in the forum it is instead suggested that you should use cpanel or buy a mod to help you instead. If defeat is admitted and that users should go through cpanel instead then that should be added to the Help section.
Since Help section needs much.....help.....maybe it should be a category on its own in the Forum index. At least until we have a very good Help section.
Database Backup

Database Backup Tools
Save the whole database at once with or without content to your PC, server or show as simple text. This tool also creates DB dump when you save the DB onto your server for further DB restore actions.

You can also perform Database Backups and Restorations from your server directly, if you have access to it. See your server documentation for more information.
