DNN back to HTML

We are interested in converting a DNN site that was built for us back to an html format. How difficult is this? We have it somewhat done but can't get any information from the .bak file we were supplied.

Re: DNN back to HTML

The .BAK file you have is a SQL Server database, you will want to restore that to a SQL server and look at the data in the database

Re: DNN back to HTML

please be aware, that you need the backup of all files from DNN installation folder on IIS as well.

Re: DNN back to HTML

i would try with HTTrack (http://www.httrack.com/). Thsi is a utility that allows you to create a local copy of any publicly accessible website.

one catch: you will only be able to get to pages that do not require logon, since HTTrack does not come with a DNN login provider afaik. Since you are moving to HTML though, I am guessing that you don't have pages behind a logon anyway (other than the DNN admin pages)

Just out of curiousity, why are you converting back to html files?

Re: DNN back to HTML

I have all the .bak and supporting files from the current host and builder. Another engineer I work with and I are going to take over the website to save some money. Hes good at html and optimization and would prefer to not use DNN. Any advice would be helpful as I'm a new to all this.
