hi alex,

i think you misunderstood what I was saying.

i have been using that previously which is ok because it saves a copy to my account, then i download that zipped file using ftp. If i am over 50% of my account space i cannot back up and save to my account becuase i will have run out of space. How do i back up the site (in zipped) and download without having a copy on my account?

i hope that makes sense.
