Restoring your website content

If you need to restore parts of your website content, select the “File Restore” application from the WebsiteOS “Website Management” menu.

Before setting up your restore job, File Restore requires that you acknowledge a warning concerning keeping local backups of your site content and about the possibility of overwriting files. Once you have read the warning, click the “Accept” button to continue.

After clicking the accept button, you have to choose a time period from which to restore content. Select a time from the drop down list and click the “Next” button to continue.

Once a time period has been selected, you must select the directories and files that you want to restore and select the location that you want them to be restored to. The “Select files to restore” list allows you to browse your selected time period and to select the files you want to restore. The “Restore files to” list allows you to select a directory to restore your selected files to. (Note: files will be restored to the directory you are in, not the directory that is selected.) Click the “Restore->” button to start the restore operation.

After clicking the “Restore->” button, a summary of the restore operation is displayed. You are warned that files being restored will overwrite existing files with the same name. After reviewing the details of the operation, click the “Confirm” button to complete the operation.

Once the selected directories and files have been restored, File Restore will display a summary of the operation. Click the “Done” button to close File Restore.
