Be careful with some of these tools.

Many of these tools are designed for users to make offline copies of websites, and are completely useless as web site backup tools.

For example, if I were to run one of these tools on my web sites, they would merge all of my include files into the visible files. Each visible file would grow in size and become inseperable from it's include files. The end result would be viewable, but it would never be recoverable.

Think about rebuilding a forum when you have a users-view of all of the messages, but you haven't actually backed up the forum software. This is not useful at all in a situation where you have lost the data on your server.

Don't fool yourself into believing that the over-the-web tools listed here are backup tools. You will be very unhappy.
