[Pro] Moving old website

I am getting ready to upload my customers new site. What do people do with the old site if the customer wants it backed up. When I went to looking at downloading, it was going to take 7hours/ Wouldn’t be simpler to put in a folder on the host marked old site leave and then upload new site?
Thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks John

That’s typically what I do.

It seemed the most logical but different than what the host said to do. They have me jumping through a bunch of hoops and re-directions. Made no sense.

If you also wanted a local backup you could always download the old_site folder a little bit at a time as time permits.

Either it is a very very large site or you have a very slow broadband connection!

I would do it a bit at a time - I think you will find it doesn’t take anywhere near as long as that.
