Well
This can be the situation.
If you backed up the web and placed in the folder with new name then may be the links may have been broken because of name change.
Lets assume for example, the original Web named as OldWeb was located in C:\cat\oldweb
and the new restored web is located at C:\dog\oldweb then the links may be required to be updated for new path.
Now the solution is to rename "dog" to "cat" again or follow the step as :
1)Open the Web in FrontPage
2)Click on View->Reports->Problems->H
3)It will enlist all the hyperlinks that appear to be broken.
4)Click on the links that appears to be incorrect and fix it by giving the proper path. My recommendation is to provide a relative link, i.e if the link says "C:\dog\oldweb\prevpage.ht
in case of images in the Images folder, the path should be "/images/image1.jpg" and so on. If you need to point to a page or file located in one folder above then the path is "../folder2/mypage.htm" assuming that c:\dog\oldweb\ contains two folders folder1 and folder2 and we are editing a link on a page in folder1 that contains link to a page "mypage.htm" in folder2.
Like wise you can edit the links. In case you need to go for a shortcut try this
1)in folder view press Ctrl+h which gives you Replace box. in find what type <a href="c:\dog\oldweb and
the Replace with the box should contain <a href="
2)Under Find Where select "All Pages" Radio Button and under advanced see to it that only following checkboxes are checked: "Ignore White Space Differences" and "Find in Source Code". For safer side click Replace All
3)Repeat the above two steps with <a href='c:\dog\old web
and
<a href='
in find and replace with box respectively.
Try it.
