Check the website www.websitebackupservice.com where they can save
your complete website pages scripts everything in a CD and mail to to
you any where in the world for one low fee. You dont have to know
anything about computers or need a software. They will do it all for
you. It is always better to save your website how small your website 
is.

Well, you can use any offline browser or website copier (i.e webzip), 
but note that these programs will retrieve your statical web pages 
only. In order to do a complete backup from the server side, you can 
use any normal backup utility depending on your OS (i.e Arkeia for 
Linux). Also, you can backup using tar (in case you have a shell access 
to the web server) using this command "tar -zcvpf /archive/website-
backup-`date '+%d-%B-%Y'`.tar.gz --directory /path/to/yourwebsite/"

You can also try software like discopump or netgrabber if your site is 
static html pages. But if the content is dynamic (asp/php/jsp), the 
these tools will just get you the static version of your site. Anyway, 
it couldn't hurt to capture the pages at least so that you at least 
have the data with you.
