I knew nothing about website structure (and really still don't) but the designer set me up with DotNetNuke and then disappeared. Now, it's too late to change to a simpler structure; and I have discovered there aren't so many website hosting companies that can handle this DNN structure well. The present host company has been great up until now, but recently sent a message saying they will no longer do any backups at all. I've used FileZilla before with no problem, but apparently (based on experience with the current host when the site crashed once before) my website falls in the category you describe in the yellow box of your terrific tutorial: it is database driven. So I understand I'm not really backing up the whole thing. Have you finished your other tutorial on backing up databases? My choices seem to be either figuring out how to do that, or finding another host who will do it like the current one used to. This might already be covered in your readers' comments above, but anything at all you can suggest ..... thanks in advance. Good morning … I knew nothing about website structure (and really still don’t) but the designer set me up with DotNetNuke and then disappeared.

That makes managing sites a lot easier. I use open source (Fullsync) to backup sites, however will consider filezilla.
