I have a website:

332vfg.com

That I have built using CC VSD. About 18 months ago I had a HD crash.. I lost everything.. and even though I had back ups... the file structure was not the same.. so I cannot make any changes to my site because I cant get to it. From my understanding this has been corrected in the latest VSD.. but since my site was built using an older version I am basically stuck and will have to rebuild the site.. won't I....

Hi Bearcat,
in hillbilly terms-yup!

Figured Thanks..

Hey Bearcat,

I might have some good news for you. As long as you have copies of the VNU file, and the original images, it doesn't matter where they're stored at because you can tell Visual Site Designer to look for them again.

When you open the VNU file, you'll receive an error message about not being able to find your images. The input box on that window displays the path where Visual Site Designer expects to find the image it wants, and you can click+highlight the path to figure out exactly which one that is (basically to see the filename). If you click Locate/Try Again, you can look for that same image on the hard drive and Visual Site Designer will reference it at the new location. It could potentially take some time to find all the images, but that's better than rebuilding the entire thing.

The latest version copies the originals into the _website folder it exports, as well as uploading a copy of the VNU to your server, which makes crashes like this much easier to deal with.
