Yes, it follows every link unless you tell it otherwise. It takes some tweaking to get it right. I had to grab Waydale about five times altogether in order to get just the good stuff without links to ads and whatnot. GreaseSpot One was even harder because of all the godforsaken popups and ads. It was nowhere near as elegant as the Waydale archive.

Shouldn't that software have an option on which domain names to pull from? Although it's not exactly the same type of software, I use AvantGo with my Clie, and it allows you to only pull from the main domain name if you like.
Zixar, it appears there is a new version. Maybe it is even better than wehn you used it. Looks pretty good. I will purchase it tomorrow and let ya'll know how it goes with backing up this Mormon owned and controlled Family site.
Is that a joke? "Ya'll are Mormons now?" I have a site on MyFamily.com also but I quit using it since they started charging. I started a Yahoo group for our family. ...and, no, I am not a Mormon.
Well, Mormon or not, it will not back up using Grab A Site, Zixar. I have spoken to Grab a site tech support. (I am using the free 30 day demo version for now). They said they will get back to me and do some tests. They never did get back to me.
On two occasions I emailed MyFamily.com about how to back up their site. No response.

Yougotout - listen to 6R, he helped someone back up the entire Waydale site a few years ago, he knows what he's talkin about.

Thanks, guys. I'll look into that. Will it back up EVERYTHING? I hope so. That would be awesome.
I have administrator rights on this site.

Of course, but since there were externally-hosted pictures on several hosts, it wasn't as simple as that.

Maybe they do not want people to back up.
