I accidentally deleted my page. Can I restore it?

Yes. Since you created your site with SiteBuilder, you already have a copy of your entire web site stored locally on your computer. If you deleted a page from your local copy, you may be able to restore your page using the Snapshot Backups tool, available online in your Web Hosting Control Panel. Snapshot Backups automaticaly stores a copy, or takes a "snapshot," of your web site files every four hours; nightly; and weekly. You can usually use this tool to recover lost files. Learn how in our online help center.

Because snapshots are taken only every four hours, a file that existed for less than four hours will not be recoverable. Snapshots are also removed after four weeks—files older than four weeks old cannot be restored. For this reason, we encourage you to back up your files on your own computer as extra security; if you build your site with SiteBuilder, your files are saved on your computer automatically.)

Important: Snapshot Backups saves a copy of your file during each interval only if that file has changed since the last snapshot. It does not create a copy of your entire web site with each snapshot.

If you restore a page using Snapshot Backups, that page will now appear in your online File Manager. However, you will not see the restored page in the local copy of your web site unless you download the page file to your own computer. In other words, you need to synchronize the remote version of your web site (the one on the Yahoo! servers) with the local copy of your web site (the one stored on your computer). If you don't download the file to include it in your local version, you may overwrite the restored page when you next publish your site. To download the missing page, along with the rest of your site's contents, you will need to import your site into SiteBuilder.
