Robert,

If you have no other backups and your templates where custom made then then you need to start over again, creating them the same way you did before.

It is not possible to download from internet page and get a template in x5.

You can use images and text from internet in your new project (and in your template) but that's about it you need to make you templates also  again.

sorry, no better news.

Forgive the naive question but why should it be impossible? I had the same problem and it took an age to rewrite (still doing it) Other programs do allow such downloads I think. Would have liked to see such an improvement in 11.

Tim,

It is a very difficult way to break up a website to the components you had.

There is the option in x5 for automtic backup's that many other programs don't have.

And you can make a backup yourself -if you have made big chances- on another medium to keep your data save. (this reminds me that is is for myself also time to backup.

If there would be an option to set the data online (for the project to restore) It would brings vulnability and that will not be apprieciated by users. (it will then be more easy for hackers to get to hidden pages blog's and so on....)

But can you give me an program that does this, make a project from a website and then edit it and post it again? It would also be a very handy way to create websites, you then can "steel" them and use them for your own, that also is not a thing that creaters of website would like.

Keep backing up from time to time!

Like any other program, your pc can crash, your drive can crash, this is not only for x5 but counts for all data that takes time or is important.

Very, very sound advice from Andre, irrespective of whichever software package is being used.

Backup, backup, backup!

It's not difficult to implement, and is the correct approach to data security.  There are many freeware programs available which will perform simple backups using minimal system resources.

I have my own machine configured to automatically and silently mirror any WebSite X5 project to a remote location every couple of hours.

As is often the case, prevention is better than cure!

Kind regards,

Paul
