I am getting into DotNetNuke and like what I have been seeing so far.  So much so that I am looking at having it installed into my re-invent hosting account.  If I do this, I will want to be able to back up not only my SQL database, which I should be able to do with SQL Server Management Studio Express, but also the DNN web site files as well.  For example, I would like to transfer the DNN site to my local installation where I can develop and test, and then upload the updated site back to my hosting account.  Since a DotNetNuke web site consists of a minimum of 1800 files spread across the directory tree, I am wondering if there is a better way of backing up (and later restoring) the files than using an ftp client.  This involves a file-by-file transfer and can be time consuming.  What would be ideal is to have the capability to run something like WinZip on the server for saving the directory tree into a single file, then ftp'ing the one file locally, then reversing the process after working on it locally.  Is there a way to do something like that in the re-invent hosting environment?

It seems that you may require a backup module for DNN that is offered in the Dotntenuke Marketplace.. Check out this link:

Thanks for the info about this module.  From the module description provided through the link you sent, this is exactly what I need.  I will have to look into purchasing a license to see if this does the trick.
