I'm running 6.7.1.

I'd like to create an entire back-up of my board.

I'm not switching to a new host, so I don't have a need to move these files to a new server.

I'm concerned about being able to revert to the back-up, should I ever need to. In that case, is it best to:
1. Download all of my UBB files to my local machine
2. Create copies of all my files right on my server via FTP software (CuteFTP). If so, I'm not exactly sure how to do that.

Proper back-up tips are appreciated.
