Another possibility is to get a copy of httrack (it's free). using it, you
can download a copy of your web site. As long as it's mostly static web
pages it works great (it'll download all the files off the site). You
could have it mirror a copy to the hard drive then burn it to CD, that way
you can hand out a CD of the web site when your network goes down. Burning
it to CD and retrieving the disks does allow for some measure of control
in terms of updating mirrored content. the copied content is browsable
using a regular browser and doesn't require a web server to be run. all
the links are adjusted so you can browse from the hard drive or CD.
