Temporary files stored in Contribute?

[LeeApp]

Hi,

I cane into work this morning, preparing to do several more updates in
Contribute before sending the recently updated files to a supervisor to be
signed off. However, when I accessed my web site, I saw that someone had
overwritten all the work I had done over the course of the past several weeks.
These files were residing on a dev site and are generally uploaded
independently of the rest of the company's web site, but in this instance,
someone had overwritten the work I had done.

Does Contribute store the files that have been developed and amended? I don't
see anything that would allow me to pull up my files, and I've only been
working in Contribute for a few months. I think I'm going to have to start from
scratch!

Thanks in advance,

Lee

If you have rollbacks enabled, contribute will save old versions of files every
time they are changed. In this case, since the files were overwritten outside
of contribute a rollback file would not have been created, but there may be
older rollback version that would be better than nothing.

If you're editing a page do File -> actions -> rollback to a previous version.
That will bring up a window that shows you all the backup files contribute has
saved (these files exist in a directory called _baks on your webserver). There
may be useful file versions in there.

Also your webserver is probably being backed up in a regular fashion, you may
have to contact your sys admin and see if they can pull up or recover the old
fileset for you from an earlier backup.
