Backing up the database

[julia]

Noppid, i noticed that when i do a back up, one of my forums is about 7 kb, but the other one that i also back up, is 17. They should be about the same size. Is it maybe because i have 3 databases in one of my forums ? Do you remember my case?
How much should the forum database be at the beginning when forum just started out?

I don't know off hand, but I would thing a megabyte or two at least.

The DB with more than one DB will certainly be larger. I don't recall the specifics.

Yes, three of my forums have 3 databases together in each. Is it better to have separate database for each forum ? I think it will be easier to do back ups.

Can someone tell me what exact tables do i need to have when I do the back ups. I have several forums, it's a mess, all of them have different amount of tables when i back up. Maybe somebody knows the exact number ?
