I made a major boo boo with my site and wanted to restore the latest backup. So, I went to the backup manager and asked it to restore the latest one. It said it had, but nothing had changed. OK - from the help, it says you need to close the project first. So I did that, but then the backupmanager is greyed out.

I then manually copied the backup file to my working folder and renamed it as the normal file and all is well.

So, what did I do wrong? How is it supposed to work?

cheers

- start the application, do not open the project
- launch the backup manager via the tools menu
- select the backup you want to restore
- click 'Restore'.

Why is that different from "start application - site file opens automatically (because that is how I set it up) - close site - try and restore, backup manager is greyed out"?

Alan

Windows only load the Tools menu when there is an active project.

OK - I am confused. What is an active project if I open WWB with no project?

Alan

An 'active project' is the currently open project.
If you close a project then there is no active project.

But if I have the project open, the restore doesn't work. And your help tells me I have to close the project.

I'm missing something.

Alan

Open any (new) project except the one you are trying to restore.
The project that is open cannot be overwritten.

Ah, so obvious when someone tells you

thanks
