I am very far away from being an expert in these
things; however, I believe that most folks keep
a 'Windows Notepad' file of the HTML of each of their pages.
Plus the fact, that they have the images stored
on their own computer.

In the event of a 'wipe-out', the HTML files
and images are simply uploaded to the webshell.

As a matter of fact, a very rare occurence today:
One of my images became somehow corrupted.
I have never seen this before...something like
a double exposure. Fortunately, I had the image
on my HD, so I simply overwrote the corrupted file.

Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
That particular image had been displayed for five or six years without any problem...maybe it just plain wore out :)


BTW, if you click on the following URL:
you'll find a Google CACHE of your pages.
Just click on 'Page Source' in your browser's
'View' options. Then, remove all the Advertising scripts
generated by the server, and you have your files back again....
[at least the pages that have been cached by Google].

You can also back up with FTP if you have FTP software such as CuteFTP. The FTP program is used to login to your account. You will then see your file lists at which point you'll be able to download those files to your pc. A nice feature of CuteFTP in particular for Windows users is that it's drag and drop. You drag your account files from one window into another window that corresponds to your pc. It can also be used in the reverse manner to upload from your pc to your account. Usually much quicker than other upload methods you may be using.

another option you are rebuilding so,

use notepad to create the pages saving them as html files, make sure to name the top page index.html and upload the pages to angelfire,
now you have a backup copy of the pages on your pc, from now on edit the copy on your pc and upload.

also you can use the netscape composer which is best to create your site and upload to angelfire,
edit the site and reupload

also you can save your web pages from your browsers File Menu...
open and view each page of your site and save it, go to your browsers File menu and choose save as: then choose webpage complete and save it to a new folder on your computer.... it will save all the images on that particular page and the html file......

however if you have angelfire banner code you will have to remove that portion of it before you upload it again to your directory... just open the html file that was saved and choose view source and remove the banner code and save the file....

Thank you so much for your interest and assistance. I purchased CuteFTP now, and it's a snap - the entire website is downloaded (backed up) in one click! Amazing. I can only recommend that software. Lou.
