snapshot of all content?

I love cmsms and use it often for client sites. One such client is now saying that for "regulatory purposes" they need an archive of content.
They don't have many pages so I've suggested good ol' right click > Save File As... but I don't know they're going to be happy with this solution.
Any ideas that might save the final html'ed up content of a site?
Thanks
Amanda

Maybe explaining better what you mean by archive would help us help you...

Even though they asked for a cms they were thrown that there aren't html files on the server they can keep a copy of. I guess for these "regulatory purposes" (I don't know what they are) they need an archive of content. For example April 2011 About Us said this, that page said that.

Dump the database to an SQL file.

Thank you for the suggestion but if it's some outside person who just wants to make sure the content says a certain thing, they're not going to able to read all the rest of it just to get to the content.
This isn't my first time at the cmsms rodeo (joined aug '07). I know about things like db backups. My client will want to get and share the info on their own. I'm happy enough telling them to send some junior person at their company through the site to manually save the 10 to 15 pages as html if it's that important.
