I have a private site. When I try backing up it exports a file called 'export' that consists only of the dummy (sign in) first page... no other pages are there even when I go under the hood and look at the HTML. Do you find this valuable?

In the primary zip folder it downloads to there should be a "pages" sub-folder that has a file representing each page.

There is no primary zip folder, t here is just an 'export' file.

In my backup file I get lots of the html files in a pages folder, but no other folders. There are several instances of the same page e.g. 001 Activity, 002 Activity, 003 Activint - no indication as to which is the most recent. It would be helpful if the pages folder had sub folders for the organisation of the site, only having pages at the top level in it, and folders for the sub-pages and their contents. Do you find this valuable?
