How the Way Back Machine recovered my web page for me

I had a bit of a problem today when cleaning up the business web site. I mistakenly deleted a page and didn’t have a copy of the contents.

After cursing myself I had a bolt of brilliance and went to the Internet Archive. Sure enough there was a copy of the page cached there that I could use to reconstruct the contents.
