backing up a website

[handyman]

Is there a programme that anyone can recommend, so I can have a copy of my website? The office live hosting doesnt have this option (if you have third party add-ons within your site, ie youtube )

It would need to be a type of programme that will save everything within a domain name, as office live works and is built and edited from their servers.

Or would it just be easier to save each page using 'file-save as' in IE, as its only 20 or so pages?

I tried the tools on this site http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/downl ... fline.html , as well as others and I couldn't get any of them to download the whole of your handyman website from one URL. It may be quicker if it's just a few pages to use your IE Save-As option.

Do you have ftp access to the files on the server?

[handyman]

cant see where ftp is. Had a look about, and all i could find was a 'back up website' button, which doesnt back it up if there are any third party add-ons

If you don't have a button for ftp access, you probably don't have it.

I've used HT Track quite a few times when customers have moved from their previous hosts to me.

It lets me download the entire site with folder structure so I can upload it to my hosting.

Not sure if it will work for you, but it won't hurt to try.

Brilliant, it worked!

Well, it didnt if you put the home page in (it only copied 2 pages for some reason), but when i put the site map page in, it then copied the entire site.

Only bit it hasnt done are the slide shows, but that would be expected

Glad it worked.

Yet another fantastic freebie
