Does not look like it to be the most complex dnn site lots of html content. So you should be able to export the site to a portal template, Click the checkbox to include content

then it will be saved to 

http://www.swindonpat-testing.co.uk/portals/_default/

lets say you name your site backup 

swindon

then all you need to do is browse to and download

http://www.swindonpat-testing.co.uk/portals/_default/swindon.template

http://www.swindonpat-testing.co.uk/portals/_default/swindon.template.resources

 Now you can create your site on another install you just need to get a hold of the skin or redo/make a new skin

FWIW, I've found DNNBackup from Evotiva to be simply fantastic for backing up and restoring sites to move, test, etc. I use it often to copy a production DNN installation to a test configuration to test new modules, configurations, upgrades, etc. before performing the changes on the live site. I've also used it to move a site to a different hosting provider. You can use with without needing directly access to the SQL server or files.

My $.02.

Thanks, Steven. I can't remember how I stumbled upon it, but it's proven very useful for me and it seems like it would be ideal in a "hostile" hosting situation. :) The support has been really good in my experience, too. I've only contact Evotiva support 3 or 4 times, but each time they've responded with a resolution within 24 hours - usually less.
