Hi @julian

I think I've figured it out now. I had a limited knowledge about Redis earlier, so I decided to learn about it properly. I managed to backup the database by following this guide http://www.tutorialspoint.com/redis/redis_backup.htm if anyone else is stuck on the same thing as me.

Thanks

@baris

Ah thank you, I was so close

@rbeer

Wow thank you so much for your long, detailed post. I decided I needed a refresher on JS after reading your post, so that's where I've been for the past few days. I completely forgot about closures, but now I think I'm back up to scratch with them so things should make a lot more sense now

Oh I will don't worry! I've already started translating NodeBB to Welsh and am keen to get good at plugin development.
