How to backup Weebly website on new Dashboard?

[Alberte1]

I was advised by a Square Specialist a couple of days ago that the only way to make a backup copy of my Weebly Website with the new dashboard is to use the "Archive" feature and get a Zip File e-mailed to me. He admitted that this Zip-file cannot be used to import back into Weebly as a backup copy of my website. Has any one figured out if there is a way to make a backup copy of a Weebly website like we used to do with the old dashboard? Thank you.

What purpose is the back up?

Are you looking to archive item descriptions?

Two reasons - - if my current Weebly website details have been modified (like prices, descriptions etc) without my knowledge by a scammer, OR if it has been hijacked by some nefarious scammer, I want to be able to repost my original website.

Ok for prices and descriptions you export your catalog from the item catalog menu on the right - for some more advanced data exports you should check out my github catalog export. It takes a little more know how but will also give you image urls and additional data points.

Besides, it is always a good business practice to have a backup copy of the Weebly website for safe keeping.
