Website Recovery
« on: May 13, 2015, 07:55:41 AM »
My wife has an e-commerce website that uses Zencart as the backend.  She was using an old version which needed to be updated. Instead of changing the files individually, we updated all the files. This effectively erased the entire website.

Is there a way to recovery the website? We have not manually backed it up.

If you're their techy friend, your job is to store backups of all their files, fix every unidentified error, and remember where they saved everything and what [obscure] filename they chose.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Do you guys know of anyone who can update Zencart to a customized e-commerce website? It seems that all the customized files need to be updated.  This is outside my comfort zone.
