Author backing up a website

I'm trying to backup up my website using wget.

wget -mirror -w 3 -p -P $HOME/MyWebBak ftp://username:password@ftp.mydomain.com

This produces $HOME/MyWebBak/index.html very quickly - too quickly.

When I point my browser to $HOME/MyWebBak/index.html, it appears to be
a mirror immage of my website filesystem, but the files have no
content.

Is wget the tool I should be using for a modest ( <5GB) website?

If yes, what should my command line be?

If no, what OSS software should I turn to (using OpenSUSE 10.2, KDE)?
