Using WinHTTrack Website Copier
I suggest that you use this on a regular basis. With Contribute there is just one copy of your website and this is on the remote server. If you were to remove some key pages or in the very remote circumstance that the web server went down and all the multiple backups were destroyed then your website would vanish. By using WinHTTrack Website Copier you can make a copy of your website and save this to CD or however you think it best to preserve the site.

Click Next>
6. Complete the screen as below but putting your website address in place of www.everythingexmoor.org.uk
