lost over 400 links???
Ok...this happened. I was using 'build all' and my total link were suddenly 400 less then normal...I did not do anything.

I need to have them back. it's about 1/3 of my total.

I checked my categories and that said that some links were not in a cat. ... I updated that and still not got them back.

Does anyone have a suggestion where they went??

Sincerely,

ozzie

ps..there is one strange thing. When i use build all... i see in a certain cat. more1.htm...until more16.html but when I look at my server..it goes until more23.htm in the same cat....?? the last files are not made anymore. How can I fix this?

Restore your links.db from the backup file in the backup directory.

Damn....that's rather logical :) haha..why didn't I think of that.

Thanks!!

Got it working again. I believe there is no way to get the sites back that joined after the backup??..I guess not.

Peace

You could ask your hosting company to restore the links.db file prior to it being corrupted. Although most hosting companies charge an "arm and a leg" for restoration of files, although it is really easy to do and limited effort is needed...but it's another means to make money.
