stupid question Backing up PMs

[oompaloompa]

Hi, this may seem like a stupid question, but does anyone know what backup messages are. (something to do with P.M's?)

Please tell me if you know!

***Edited my admin just to change subject to say its about 'backing up pms' inacse anyone else is also wondering******

Sure... its not a stupid question. It just means do you want to save a copy (to your harddrive on your computer) of your personal meaages from this forum.

To do this you have to click 'back up messages' when you are in the Persomal messages area.

This is what you will then read which I hope clears it up:

"From this page you can download a backup of all of your personal messages. You may only use this feature once every 30 days for your account.

Here is the process for downloading a backup of your personal messages:


Click the button at the bottom of this page labeled "Backup Personal Messages."
Your account will be added to a queue for processing. The average time for backups being completed is 2 minutes.
When your personal messages are done being backed up, you will receive a private message in your inbox stating that your messages are ready for downloading.
You have up to one (1) week to download your backup before it is removed from the server.
Our records show that you have not backed up your Personal Messages within the last month, and therefore you may proceed".
