So I backed up my database via both ACP/Maintenance, and phpmyadmin export.
I then used bluehost's file manager to compress all the folders and files within public_html, and downloaded both the database backup and .zip file of the _html folder to my PC.
I'm about to make major changes to the layout of the board.
I want to know, that If I blow it all to smithereens, can I simply remove the Database, restore it from the .sql, and restore the folder/file structure from the .zip archive.
Sounds easy enough, but after breathing for over 81 years, I've not found many things that sound good, that taste good!
