Speaking as a former system administrator, having backups is always a good idea. Not only is computer hardware and software fallible, but a human can make a change and later decide it was a mistake.

The whole "backups are not a consideration" is highly suspicious.

    And yes I did try wget on another Squarespace site, got a 429 too
    many requests error for which I didn't add a delay to work around
    yet and there's HTTrack which I haven't tried yet.  So we'll just
    keep a backup of our current Joomla site and proceed, so I've
    answered my own question, BUT input from NLUG is golden .. will
    take any other suggestions .. thankful I didn't wait any longer to
    go to NLUG.

        Hello NLUG,
        We are in a situation with our Joomla website and have a
        Square Space web designer offering to rebuild the entire site
        instead of waste time fixing the broken Joomla situation.  I
        do want to move away from Joomla, but online review of Square
        Space mentions backups not being a feature and I believe
        exporting the site is a related unavailable feature.

        The developer told me:  "
        /Squarespace doesn’t require backups because all data is held
        on dynamic servers that can move around without the end user
        even noticing. /
        //
        /
        /
        //
        /Backups are not even a consideration. What is, is access
        control to ensure you don’t have unauthorized people making
        changes you may have to undo. But that’s proper change
        management and that’s assumed in any efficient organization
        because it’s fundamental."/


        I'm wondering if we do have a security breach mess things up,
        can we undo the damage by restoring?  And if we decide that
        Square Space isn't for us, exporting to something else would
        be good.

        Have any of you dealt with Square Space before?
