Hi,
I know there was a lot of topics about it. But... When I was doing format of my PC I lost my backup file.
Worst thing is that i have my project file but it is opening as a OLD project when i start it no when i finished it! Then i have a question! Why is like that! I have my project file and it is not like it was when i use it to open before format.
Really is there any option to do that? I am trying everything over write files which i download from FTP server etc!!!
What I can do to restore it and work normaly!
I did not pay money to hear "Oh sorry you cant do nothing"
Please help

If you have still your pc where you worked on you might wanna try the backup option in x5.
This works also on v12: https://helpcenter.websitex5.com/fr/post/47713
check the dates of the files to see if they are up to date.

Ive already done it and it is not working at all.
The back up files are old from 2016.

Different way. Why iwzip is not storing latest saved page.
I have iwzip and it is opening site like was when i start creating it! Right now more then one year of my work gone!
Is that ok? Not at all...

From what you are saying, your only recourse is to copy and paste text from your online site to bring your project up to date. If your site has many images which are no longer available to you, you can also use FTP to download them to your local PC. WX5 can not recreate a project from a published website.
Unfortunately an IWZIP can only be as up-to-date as when you created it, if you haven't created a new one (step5 Export) for a year or 2, the content will be a year or 2 old.

Ok I got it but It is not just images or text.
Is there any possible option to open file where I can copy everything what is inside in HTML? Or i need to do this site by site and spend again few days to update it...
Sorry but company should bring an update that you can do things like that.
Cheers
Lukas, it is a manual process I am sorry.
I sympathise and do not understand why your backups were so old. There should have been a new one created every time you uploaded the site via the built in FTP client unless you turned this feature off (down arrow next to save). Here there is also the option to create a backup at any time, but most people discover this option after a catastrophe.

Esahc, i do not understand as well. Every time before upload i saved my job etc... To be honest something like this should happened before if this data will not saved. But it never happened. Donno why is like that.
But there should be an option to communicate with HTML guys. It is a software which is creating a website then should be logicly to have that option.
Regards
Lukas

Guys i do not want to create a new subject for that.
I finish my page now after it was "broken" but i can not save file! I am making backup copy saving all the time after few changes and most important i am making ekxport to a compressed project.
And here is a thing. Today is 27th and my file in the website X5 is file from 25th! after all saves etc. I do not want to swear but WTF!
When i am opening that file is all the time giving me shit like file is in use or not correctly saved! Come on it can not be like that! I will not go and fix it all the time again that is bullshit i wish to get my money back but it is too late...
Lukas, How do you save your projects?
Do you use export project in step5 for backup? That is the only correct way to make a complete and 1 file backup, save that on a seperate medium and update it after some time or a lot of work.
From that file you should always be able to fall back if there is trouble in the project.

Yep mate like that.
And from that i have only worse... When i open file what i am work on it is showing me isseu with open/save file when i open from file with fully update i have problem with all graphics, photos are not found and i have enought to replace them again..
Auteur
Different way cause i mess up writing this.
When i open from my file what i was working it is showing me open/save problem and i have missing header and footer and some bits.
When i opne file after fully backup and save i have missing whole graphics everything with photos etc.
Lucas, this does not make sense. Saved projects, backed up projects, and in particular exported (iwzip) projects should be exactly as you last saw the project.
In your first post you stated you reformatted the hard disk, was this because of HD problems??
Are you still getting random unexpected delays/pauses when using the PC and WX5 in particular??
Have you considered checking the hard disk?
(open cmd prompt as administrator, type chkdsk c: /r, press enter and allow to run on next reboot)
If it is not HD related, are you making copious use of CTRL+preview when working?
Auteur
I just made format to refresh my PC that it. I do not have any issue with HDD. The problem is that is not saving my work. I correct my page after was being broken. I upload it on website (and also in the mean time made some saves). Later on I just make a backup of iwzip file. When i open iwizp file it has more missing items then file what i was working on...
That is not make any sense
Lucas, if you start a new project, does this happen?
Auteur
Did not try this one yet.
I will try and let you know soon.
Auteur
Esahc with new project everything is ok. Only my old project has a problem...
Hello Lukas,
Try please to edit one of the breakpoints width and then press CTRL + SHIFT while you open the preview and then set the breakpoint back to the original value and check if then the project saves correctly.
Many thanks!
