Saving a website backup

Recommended Posts

Guest S****r

I am having some trouble with wix.com. I want to save my site in case they suddenly pull it. Can anyone direct me on how to do that?

I sure would appreciate it. I am afraid all my hard work is going to disappear.

Thank you.

I am not familiar with Wix but I suspect you cant use FTP or any other wix feature to back up

 

Software that I use and will download a whole site: I use https://www.httrack.com/

Download to a folder and everything should be there including CSS files

 

Additional Comments:

PS smart idea to backup your website. I am sure wix backs up everything but I dont like relying on 3rd party entities for something as imprtant as your website

Bad enough you dont have master graphic files

Thank you so much! This is great news! No, wix has not tool to back it up yourself.

 

I just looked at the link you posted. I see this note:

Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Seven/8 installer version

WinHTTrack (also included: command line version) httrack-3.48.22.exe [alternate site] 3.48-22

3.99 MiB (4182560 B)

We recommend:

Windows Vista/Seven/8 64-bit installer version

WinHTTrack (also included: command line version)

 

Do you also recommend the second one? 64-bit

Since I can't get that program to work, does anyone know if just using control S to save each page is sufficient?

You can save each page, it will just take some time. I recommend using Firefox and selecting File - Save As - Select the save type as Web Page , complete (*,htm,*.HTML)

 

I also suggest keeping each page in its own folder to keep the organized.

there will be some files/folder at root level that you might not get. Test by saving al thep ages of your site to same folder and view website form that folder and see if it looks and behaves exactly the same

 

Brute force way to get an missing file is inspecting HTML code. Once you know file name and path - then use URL to get it
