Precautionary HTML backup

Post by Jonny »

Situation: I have a few client sites set up using Movable Type which I host via a cpanel based reseller package. Today, for reasons unknown, all the installations have been hosed.

So, as a precaution measure for my future CMSMS sites, I'd like to learn how to create/export a static HTML based version of a site, so that if it breaks for reasons beyond my control I can put up a temporary plain 'ole HTML version.

TIA

Yep... there are a few discussions about this as a possible future option. Right now, aside from viewing the source of each page and saving it, I don't think a method exists.

Thanks for your replies.

Downloaded wget for Mac OS X (URL below) and it works fine.
