AW: [opencms-dev] System Recovery

[Ariel Spivakovsky]

Before you do anything else, back up your database.

Do you have a relatively recent backup of your database, before the problem occurred?

If yes, try restoring it to another server and pointing to it.

In theory it should work.

Best
Ari

Hi Thomas,

I don't know why, but the online project shows the same error messages
like the offline version: file not found in /system/bodies...

Maybe this is so, because I published the project inbetween to get rid
of this crossed out folder in the explorer view...

The export folder does not contain any files either.=20

Regards,
Frank.
