Restoring XSite Snapshots

Using XSites Snapshot, you can easily create restore points so that you can restore your XSite to a previous state at any point in time. To restore a previously saved Snapshot of your XSite:

1. From the XSites SnapShot tool, find the Snapshot you want to restore in the list of previously saved Snapshots. To review the contents of any saved Snapshot, just click the Settings link.
2. When you find the Snapshot you want to restore, click the Restore link beside it.
3. In the prompt that appears, click Continue Restore and then select all of the content items you wish to restore using the provided list of check boxes.

   

4. You're prompted to select the items you wish to restore. Depending on whether this is an Advanced or Quick Snapshot, different options will appear. Quick Mode limits you to restoring the entire visual appearance of your site, all of the content of your site, or both. Advanced mode offers you the full list of items you included in your Snapshot. For best results, when restoring an Advanced Snapshot, be sure to restore all items related to those that you check. Here's a list of all of the items you can restore grouped by their relationships to each other.
