So, let me say right from the beginning that I am an idiot. So we don't have to bring it up again.
My problem is that I bought VSD and designed my companies website for them and all of management smiled down at me in awe and what once looked to be a bright future is now dimming into a fast retrenchment.

Once I created the website, I uploaded everything to the server and AWESOME! its great.
Then my laptop got stolen, which contains all the files of my website.

What I need to do is upgrade my website with some cool features I've found but I cant, reason being when I Start up VSD it asks me If I would like to "Create a new website, or Open an Existing Website'. I obviously would like to open the website I have already made, but cant due to the fact that my laptop is currently somewhere on the black market....

Please, Is there any way that I can get or find a copy of the website that is running live on the server save it in a VSD format so I can edit and Update the website....

The URL to my website is www.fishermanfresh.co.za

Thanks All.

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

My host doesn't provide the backup in .vsd format...

it comes in .tar.gz.
Do you perhaps know how I can convert it to .vnu?

Those are compressed files so Google those extensions and a free unzip utility that will handle those should come up.
