Backing up Forums

Has antbody any experience of backing up a forum in case of server errors? I recently had a server crash with my ISP and lost a forum, along with all of its history of course.

Is it possible to just 'get' the files from the server and hold them on my hard drive, if so I could just back it up regularly and not much would be lost if it ever happened again?

How big are forums? In terms of disc space, would it be practical? I know Nicke was looking into this recently, and am just wondering what the options are.

Any pointers appreciated.
