Hey Roberto,

To backup the forum specifically you want to select all tables which begin sf.  For example:

wp_sfauths, wp_sfbuddies, wp_sfcache etc.. Although your prefix might differ from ‘wp’.

Depending on what you’re doing though, you need to remember that all users being WP users, are stored in the wp_usermeta table. Without this table, posts will no longer be linked to anybody, and could cause more problems..

Hope this helps!

Don’t forget the ‘users’ table. It is ‘users’ AND ‘usermeta’.
