My website is currently built with MS Frontpage. It's especially large, consisting of about 11GB of scanned photographs of an old San Francisco landmark called the Cliff House...

cliffhouseproject.com

I'm thinking about converting the site into a Drupal site, but have a few questions...

1) I have a lot of time invested in the old website...is there some way of automatically converting the site?
2) Various blogs and websites link to this site for images and content. I'm guessing that's all lost? Or at best left pointing to abandoned html code?
3) The images can be very large. Can the images can be stored as individual files rather than stored in the drupal database?

much thanks,
gary

Regarding
(2) there are ways to keep the old urls working
(3) images by default are stored on the filesystem.

@1:
You have to use Migrate module to migrate any data from any database.There you have to map your old db to new db and then you have to implement your own classes for mapping existed database to drupal database content.
