It is highly recommended that I backup my forum before installing MODs, something I plan on doing frequently. However, bizhat doesn't have a "backup forum" option on the admin panel, and instead I must pay $10 to backup my files.

Is there any way to get around this? I'm fine with keeping the files on my own computer; I just don't want to have to pay $10 every time I install a new MOD. If this is not possible, can I transfer my files to a host that allows the backup option?
