 * Hi there,
 * i just restored a backup to localhost.
    but however i dont see links like: site-
   url.de/?page_id=155 but instead i see links that look like this: site-url.de/
   common_posts that link does of course not work. what went wrong when creating
   backups?
 * thanx alot for you help, if i dont find a solution i have to switch to another
   backup-tool.

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for getting in touch.
 * So you’re site is fully restored? It could be that flushing your rewrite rules
   could have fixed the issue. WordPress SEO seems like the kind of plugin that 
   might do this during one of its operations.
 * Did you restore your site to the same domain?
 * Cheers,
    Owain
