Backing up pages

Is there any way of backing up our wiki? It's scary to think that somebody malevolent could come along and wipe the lot, and we would have no way of reinstating it. Do you find this valuable?

I invite you after using the site backup provided by Wetpaint to open the zip file and look at your saved pages. The pages will not be what you will expect to see.

Although still in the phase of refining instructions, I would like to also invite you to read through a backup process that will be much better for the overall short comings of backing up elements offered.
I will show you how to back up and restore the following:
* threads
* member profiles
* photos
* Albums
* Videos
* Attachments
* Entire site

Please click on the link below

Many thanks to both of you, I hadn't thought to look in Settings. CryingDove, I think the only bit of my pages not covered by the Wetpaint process is attachments, I shall download httrack when I get a spare moment. Many thanks again. Do you find this valuable?
