This service is provided as a way to test
the Website Snapshot at a lower price.
Everything is identical with 2 exceptions:
- Delivery: you are provided with a link to see how the snapshot looks like on a live web server of our choice. No file is prepared for download from your account on our store.
- Rush orders are not accepted for online tests.
- If you like the result you can use the amount paid for the online test as credit on your order for a Website Snapshot.
- The live snapshot will be available for viewing until you order a regular Website Snapshot, up to maximum 30 days; less if you ask us to do so. Upon request it may be archived to be revived at a later date for an additional fee.

- Links in the document a converted to local relative links, suitable for local viewing.

Download type
- The mirroring operation may create a heavier than usual load on your website.
- Also your server may be protected against massive downloads.
- To alleviate the above, our download is usually done over a 24 hours period.
Simple setup and operation
- Simply acknowledge that you have the right to download the website mirrored.
- Enter the address of the web site to be mirrored. Must include host name and absolute path of location like in "http://www.example.com"
- Wait for the email confirming mirroring operation is complete.
- You are provided with a link to see how the snapshot looks like on a live web server of our choice. No file is prepared for download from your account on our store.
Legal
- You must have the legal right to copy the content requested.
- This service is dedicated to website owners and legal users (example: sales people using an offline copy of the companiy's website for presentations to customers)
Our automated software has no mean to check the above for each jurisdiction. We rely on customers' acknowledgement that they have the legal rights to copy the content requested. By using our service you expressly accept and assume all the responsibility for this download. - The offline copy (mirror, snapshot) is provided "as is", subject to the limitations mentioned here, as well as any limitations imposed by the server and technology used for the mirrored site.
- If not sure the copy will meet your needs, you may select the Online Test Snapshot at a lower price (online only, no packaged file download).
Also please see the Demo site and compare to it's Online Mirror Snapshot.
*Exact/accurate copy:
- It does not include password or captcha protected pages.
- Some interactive forms may work only with online access to the original site.
- Some dynamically generated pages (e.g. weather for a certain city at a certain date) will be "frozen" in time, at the moment the copy was made.
** Simple emergency backup:
- A backup mirror may make a perfect backup for a static web site.
- For dynamic / CMS generated sites (Drupal, Wordpress, Jumla, and so on) a snapshot/mirror will allow to quickly bring up the last version of your site in case of server failure, malfunction, malware attack. However this is NOT a proper CMS back-up, and can not be used to fully restore your site's database and structure in case of data loss. For a proper CMS backup use a dedicated backup service - see "Services" section.
