I was worried that when I do a backup via MyBB, someone would post during the backup process and it would be inconsistent. I usually close my board when I do backups. Is this necessary?

I think that closing your board is not only necessary, but a very good practice. Now, you can not close the board while backing up the database; however, you might lose a post or three in the process of backing up.

I do a backup of my 3gb database without closing the site. Not really a big big problem for the most part.

OK. Thanks for the support Omni, I won't close it while backing it up then.
