Do I need or can I back up my forum

Is there a way for me to back up my forum?

Or do I need to worry about it?

If the forum was hacked, is SMF able to recover or save the forum and all information within the forum?

What steps should I be taking to make sure I don't ever loose the forum layout, theme, portal, sidebar, etc?

Thanks  :)

No way to backup a forum. We do not restore sites if they were hacked.

We have backups just in case that happens.

We've never been hacked before.
Everyone just gives the wrong powers to the wrong people.
Or their password is found.
But no actually hacking of the software.
