Hi Claude, Greg explained correctly. You can download the archives as often as you would like. I should remember a few things:
1) The backup doesn't include configurations like permissions and customizations made in the "change appearance" page. So you should manually take note of whatever you have in there.
2) Although we can restore a backup saved by the forum owner, the URL of the restored forum will be different from the original one. So old permalinks will probably not work anymore and you would have to fix the embedding code in your HTML page if your forum was embedded.

You can save the backups as explained, but you should keep them only for extreme cases. I also would like to remember that all Nabble servers have daily backups in case something bad happens, but we can only use those backups to bring the full server back after a disaster. We can't restore individual forums out of the daily backup, so forum owners must have the individual backups if they want to restore a particular forum or app.
