No - this is not possible.
But - if you have a backup of your whole project-folder, it will be possible to recreate the project.
There is a lot of posts in this forum about this issue.
Quang, for future reference you can go to step 5 export, export the project and this will create a complete backup of your project.
Version 9 is extremely old. If it becomes necessary to recreate your website manually (copy & paste from online site) then it is strongly recommended you purchase the latest version. There is no support for v9 and few users still have a copy running so they cannot offer reliable support either.

Before you invest in a new version you should consider :
- Is there any of the functions in the new version I cannot live without?
- If it is always a good idea to have the newest version how much will it then cost ( new version every year or "update" ) - at least half price of the product every year.
- Is there functions that has been removed ? - Yes there is. The possibility to have images in gallery be page-dependent. The site map has gone, the automatic left-menu is gone - it is replaced by a menu object that has to be inserted on each page if you want left menus in sub levels.
John, I do not normally take issue with other users, but this time I will make an exception.
Quang is using v9. It is old, it is unstable, it is not supported, it uses functions no longer supported on mainstream browsers and it does not do responsive. You are wrong.
Quang can move to the current version and there is no specific reason why it cannot be used without a yearly update.
There a things Incomedia have done and just as importantly not done which tick me off too, but WX5 is still the best of it's type in my opinion. Bring on v2020 :-)
Sorry Quang, but I have to answer Esahc
@Esahc - I agree that there could be benefits to upgrade from v9 - BUT - I have seen many posts where you suggest users to upgrade to newest version, and this is even when they have v12, v13, v14, v15, v16 or version 17. We should remember that when a user has a version that he knows in detail, he find it stable, and he has no need for new functions, then a new version will not always be the best solution.
I agree that if a user has an issue that can be solved by using a later version, then it could be the right thing to suggest that he upgrades.
@Quang
It is your decision if you want to upgrade or not.
If you have to build the site again from scratch, then it will be the right time to decide :
Should I make it all again in v9, or should I make it all in a new version.
John, I will make no further comment, but I assume you have v9 so you can assist Quang if help is required during the manual rebuild.
This has been most enjoyable, have a great day.
@Esahc - Normally you can see what versions users have - is it unclear for you that i don't have v9?
@Quang - I suggest nothing - only that if you are forced to start from scratch, that you then consider/decide : should I use my existing v9 or should I use/purchase a new version.
My apologies John - I failed to look :-)
