Backup Site

Ok... So I have created this site live, and done all the editing here as well, I suddenly thought if it goes wrong... all will be lost. So I decided to use the Umbraco Package system to create a backup package and upload it onto my desktop 'evaluation' copy... Nice but it didn't end up that easy.

Though the package creates fine, and on examination it seem OK, a rather obscure error pops up when I try to load it. This could be because the live and evaluation sites are being run on different version of the cms software, can I be running into compatability issues. For a quick solution and prior to updating the live site software version, I have updated my evaluation (now development) area to the latest 4.5.2 software version and re-created my site... took less time that I expected. But now I'm having problems with the Umbraco xslt macros I created, actually the diary display one...Such is the life of a programing nurd...
