[ubuntu-uk] website backup

[alan c]

After reading the horror stories about 'website hacked' and the like I
wanted to check my understanding about backing up.

I am aware of simple methods such as
Copying files directly presumably with say, filezilla , after logging
in as admin is what first come to mind.
But what about httrack? This can mirror a site. Can this be regarded
as a backup?
