"Save site as template" Missing in MOSS 2007

Issue:

Sometime "Save site as template" link may be missed in MOSS 2007. 

Solution:

Usually this link will be available in the "Site Actions" --> "Site Settings" area. This may be missed sometimes, if you upgrade your team site into "Publishing Site". (i.e. If you forced to convert as a publishing site through the STSADM command). Then, How can we save the site template?

Still there is an answer. Just type the below command in browser after the site name & port (without quotes).

"/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx"

For example:

http://172.16.10.10:5002/_layouts/savetmpl.aspx

Later, you can download this template from "Site Template Gallery" (under Site Actions --> Site Settings). 

For Example:

http://172.16.10.10:5002/_catalogs/wt/Forms/Common.aspx

Thats it...
