What is the correct setting to use when backing up ALL of the mySQL data???? Is there a faq somewhere that tells you what setting to check or uncheck??? I am having a hell of a time backing up. When I try to restore, I get errors!!!!

I just installed ubbthreads 6.0.1 and it is no longer says "new post" anymore. Why did this function stop working??? There is supposed to be a little light bulb that comes on when there are new messages in a forum and it doesn't like up OR say "new". Whats the deal!?
