Two Questions

I am wondering if it would be wise to backup any PMs, owing to the server migration tomorrow???

I also just noticed while creating a new folder in my PM box that it does not seem possible to also put "sent" messages into a subfolder, I have only found the options to move those in your inbox. Is there any way to do this? I figure it is always possible I'm missing something obvious :o
If it isn't possible, it's not an issue, I was only curious.

I have a backup of the entire vBulletin database from Wednesday, and that's only in case of an emergency. I don't foresee any problems with the migration, and none of the data will be deleted off the old server until everything has been tested on the new one.

I suppose there's a remote chance that some sort of catastrophe could happen and both servers and all backups could be wiped out, so if there's any PMs you absolutely wouldn't want to lose, it's never a bad idea to keep your own personal backup.
