If your are just making a backup of a disc based web (from a folder - say C:\MyWebName)
Just copy the whole folder from C to your External Drive using Windows Explorer
- remove the do not publish from all your files
In general, If you only have 150 MB available on your C: drive you will continue to have problems (w/ more than FP)
- not enough space for all the Windows Temp and IE Temp files, etc

| marked them I tried to get into page view in order to publish to the external
| drive. It would not open, and said there was insufficient memory. I closed
| Front Page and checked my c: drive and found out that it was full. When I

| drive, which is extremely time consuming. My initial intent was, and is to

|
| I don't understand what I did wrong, nor do I have a clue on how to fix it.
| The web works and can be accessed via the URL, but I can't edit it.
