My web host's drive crashed and lost recent work that I did to my web site.
The host restored my files from a backup without the updates. I would like
to be able to backup (publish) my site to a third party server in future.
Can I initiate that within front page and then close front page so that my
computer's resources are not being used, or is there a different way to do
it? Thanks

Darryl

No, you must have FP open to publish the site, and you can just publish back
to your local machine as a backup.

There's a command-line utility called owsadm.exe that
might have this capability. Try browsing
www.microsoft.com/search and searching for owsadm.exe.

You could also do such backups by FTP. Just be sure to
back up *all* the files.

The best practice, however, is to keep a perfect copy of
your production site locally, and then use local backup
procedures on that. Of course, this assumes you always
update your local copy and then publish.

Backing up only databases is a little trickier, because
you should always prohibit browsing to any folder that
contains an Access database. So, either back them up by
FTP, or set up some sort of password protected process
that transmits a copy of the database for backup.
