How to restore a Homestead web page or site from a backup copy:

1. Locate and open your backup folder for your Homestead web site.

Note: This is the backup folder that you have created. SiteBuilder does not automatically create a backup folder. For instructions on how to create a backup copy of a Homestead web site, please click here.

2. Go to: "C:\Program Files\Homestead\Homestead Personal\Homesteads\Your_Web_Site_Name" or double-click on "My Computer" on the desktop

For Homestead Gold/Silver Members:
C:\Program Files\Homestead\Homestead SiteBuilder

For Members who installed SiteBuilder as Homestead Professional Members (prior to 4/15/02):
C:\Program Files\Homestead\Homestead Professional

For Homestead Personal:
C:\Program Files\Homestead\Homestead Personal
