# Installer.php File Question

 * I accidentally deleted the installer.php file from my set of Duplicator backup
   files after I downloaded it. The site itself is gone so I no longer have it online
   either as well.
 * Is it possible to recreate that file in some way? I assume not as it has proprietary
   info for that particular backup which can’t be rewritten just using the zip file
   itself?
 * Cheers…

 * There is a copy of the installer file in the archive.zip called installer-backup.
   php. Its exactly the same as the one you deleted.
 * Hope that helps~
