I accidently overwrote a new website I was developing. Is there anyway to restore it from the \_pgbackup files?

By default (since the number can be changed), the \_pgbackups folder contains the last 20 versions of each HTML and CSS file that were modified during the project’s lifetime. So, it’s possible to recover the documents, but you’ll need to do some “manual” work and sorting.

Thanks @Emmanuel. I rebuilt the site from scratch since I didn’t know how to do the recovery. please close this case.
