How to back up your site

FrontPage
  1. From the File menu, select Publish Web.
  2. Click on Browse and select a location on your hard drive to save the web. I suggest My Documents\webname. Click OK when you have found or created the proper directory.
  3. Click Publish.
  4. Wait for the publishing operation to finish. (It may take a few minutes.)
FTP (Do not use this method to backup FrontPage generated web site)
  1. Download all the files to your computer.

Important notes:

  • Always edit your site directly on the web server. Never edit your backup site. It exists only for archival purposes.
  • When backing up, always publish to a hard drive. Never publish to a location prepended by http or ftp.
