Yes, the forums and all hosted sites are fully backed up once a week to an offsite location. 4 full backups of the whole setup are kept, with the oldest one being removed whenever a new one is created. There are also nightly SQL dumps for the forum and wiki.

Wow, that's fantastic.
Oh, and I hope there are more than one person having admin access to backup/forum/site?

More than one person has access to the SQL dumps, but I'm the only one who has access to the weekly backups. I just have a script set up to rsync everything over to a server I have running here at home, so I have physical possession of the backups. The initial backup took forever because it was something like 50 gigs, but now it's only a couple hundred megs a week to download, and it all happens in the background without me having to do anything (which was the most important factor here ).

And I try to archive shit about once a month on my home computer. I think it's time again!
