Wayback Tools FAQ

Wayback Tools uses Archive.org captures as the restoration evidence source, lets you choose a snapshot, previews restored output, and prepares a host-ready ZIP when the archive contains recoverable pages and assets.

No host backup is required to start. The restore check uses archived captures, then reports what the archive can recover and what remains unavailable.

No. The workflow is built for live-internet rehosting: internal references are rewritten for hosting, preview is shown before download, and recovery gaps are reported explicitly.

Yes. You can use the most recent available snapshot or choose a specific archived date before starting a restoration.

Wayback Tools reports unavailable archived content instead of hiding it. Live external services that were never archived can remain external when they still work on the live internet.

Yes. Single Recovery handles one-time restorations, while Pro and Enterprise subscription accounts include bulk restoration workflows for repeated work.

The free restore is capped at up to 5 customer pages for one site, with standard queue handling and output availability subject to the free artifact limit.

No. Wayback Tools is an independent website restoration product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Internet Archive or Archive.org.

Public WordPress pages, posts, images, styles, and scripts can be recovered when Archive.org captured them. The original WordPress database, admin dashboard, plugins, and server-side form logic are not present in public archive captures.

The output is prepared as a host-ready ZIP for live-internet rehosting. You may still need to upload it to a host, configure a domain, remove unwanted third-party scripts, or rebuild dynamic functionality separately.

If a paid Single Recovery restoration fails, the price for that failed website is automatically refunded. Archive limitations can still appear in a delivered recovery-gap report when the output is usable.

No. Wayback Tools works from public archive evidence. Private dashboards, password-protected areas, and server-side application state are outside public Archive.org captures.
