We recommended that you consider installing the AKEEBA Backup extension to manage taking
backups of your site. This can also be automated by the use of a cron job.

If you intend to migrate your forums you will need to install the KUNENA
extension. This is a mature forum that fully integrates with JomSocial and is
comparable in features and operation with phpBB or SMF

The Stack Ideas EasyBlog extension is a very capable blog component. As with some of the other components, it is not free, but worth the small amount it costs.
