You should always publish a FP web from on location to another, never copy.

It you want to have a backup, use NTBackup, which is automatically installed for Windows XP Pro and
all Windows 2003 Servers, this way you can backup the Inetpub folder and configuration info to a
second HD, etc.

Windows XP Home users, have to install NTBackup from Add/Remove Windows Components or directly from
the CD.
