Hi, My mac hard drive crashed and I also lost all my backups so I lost my websites
I have my own cpanel server and my websites are on it and all working.
How can I recover my websites, there where in RW6, I now have RW7.5.5
Can I just download from my server and create new project files.
What is the best procedure to do this. Any help will be much appreciated

I am sorry to have to tell you that, If you lost the project files AND your back up’s, you can’t recover.

You will have to re-build them.

Always, Always keep a backup offsite as well as on-site at a minimum, keep a copy of your project file on the web server.

RW7 will do this for you if you turn backups on.

I guess it would be a cool thing to have a feature or program to reimport RW pages…but maybe that will never happen…?

Scott, where do you turn on backups in RapidWeaver?

In RapidWeaver 7.x you can create “portable documents” which back up your sitefile to your web server. That way, you’ll always have a copy of your sitefile handy if something happens. Check out the video:
