Offline backup

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to keep an offline backup of my web
using Frontpage 2002? (On Windows XP Pro)
My ISPs Frontpage server has crashed and lost all my web! I don't want it
to happen again. Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards
Dot

Just publish the FP web from Online to your PC
(disc based for html or localhost for ASP or FP SE)

Thanks for your prompt reply. I suspected as much but what I would like to
know is - when I put new stuff on do I put it on the online web and update
the offline web, or the other way round?

For fear of what happened to you. I always create my pages locally no matter
what and then I publish them via frontpage http. Gets you into the habit,
only problem I have no, which is seldom, is that I may forget to publish it
after updating a page.

I simply zip my web folder(s) in to a Zip file and copy to ZIP (Iomega) disk
or CD. then simply restore the files if anything goes majorly wrong.

that is, if you're working on a local copy on your PC, I take it you were
working 'live' on the site and had *no* local copy whatsovever? In that
case, publish the web back to your machine (through File > Publish). Then
copy the web folder to CD, zip disk or whatever.

It is personal choice; but I work on the local (my computer) web, then
publish it. Sounds like you're working on a live copy (via http: mode in
Frontpage etc etc). If you make changes to the live site, I would
definitely publish back to your machine and make a external back up to disk,
CD etc.
