    Hi there, i am new here.
    I have a question to ask you, i googled it, but found nothing about it. I have (had) a website, and i was offline for maybe 5 days. My host got hacked, and i have no backups, neither my host. I found my website in web.archive.org.
    And i downloaded the whole website from there, but nothing works now. The URL structures are gone, mywebsite.com/logo.jpg turned into web.archive.org/21935912/mywebsite.com/logo.jpg.
    When i upload those files to my FTP, it doesn't work. How can i edit them to the correct structures.
    Sorry for my bad English. I am not native.

    Hi ,

    I use PSPAD for find replace in text files. You could replace :

    web.archive.org/21935912/mywebsite.com

    with

    mywebsite.com

    Do you have ny recent FTP down of the site at all?

    Im afraid my friend - you have learnt a very valuable lesson today.....

    Personally I would use Notepad++ to replace the domain in all files (all subdirectories) at once.

    You can get all images from google cache and use HTML editor to restore all pages one by one
    Good luck!

    For Gods sake, keep back ups or automate the process
