    If you did a backup of your BV pages/images and so on, its just a case of copying these files back into My Documents / Bluevoda and then launching the BlueVoda program to access them.

    If I've missunderstood what you have backed up

    You can open BV Click file>new page> from existing html > check 'remote' on internet and put in the url of your website and repeat this for every page.

    I hope this helps?

        If you want to work on your pages using BV

        Open BV Click file>new page> from existing html > check 'remote' on internet and put in the url of your website and repeat this for every page.

        You will be practically starting from scratch but by dowloading each page, you should rescue the page content.

        It will be fiddly but if you are familier with BV then you should be fine.
