Thanks Garciat.

You can use a sniffer which "sniff" all html pages.
Why do you want to do a such thing?

What do you mean with a 'sniffer'? Which sniffer-software is free available and user friendly?

I want to make a backup of a webforum with valuable information. I want that to have a safe copy in case data on that forum get accidentally lost or are intentionally deleted by the forum administrator.  Or in case the forum might be fully discontinued.

What do you think of 'offline browser utilities' like HTTrack and PageNest? Are they harder to use than a 'sniffer'?

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. I am a registered member of a webforum with PunBB-software, probably version 1.2. I have no admin-rights there,  I am just a member.

I want to make an automatic backup of that whole forum to a USB-stick. Which software would you advice for that purpose? I don't need advanced options for that archiving, but I prefer easy-to-use, free software, with a clear help-function.

Maybe there is backup-software that is specific for PunBB-forums?

I use Windows-XP and a high-speed internet-connection and my computer is probably powerful enough for this archiving task.

Thanks very much in advance for all your suggestions!
