Hi,
I inherited the management of a small community website which was put together many years ago using Durpal. Everyone paniced when the developer said it would no longer be supported and thus they couldnt host it. I (as the youngest in the group who actually had a clue) said I would try to fix it.
Since then it has been a long list of problems. I didn’t realize the website transfer hadn’t happened, people not getting back to me etc etc. HOWEVER, a good friend of mine has been helping me, in that he managed to back the original website up for me before it disappeared, he helped me set up a new webhost etc etc.
So 2 years later I am just about ready to redo the website (after it not exsisting for 18 months, and I finally managed to get a holding page up about 3 months ago). I really dont want to have to start again from scratch as there will be LOTS of moaning from various people. BUT I can not find a good system for unbacking up the Durpal file, then converting it into wordpress. I use a Mac most of the time if that is important. I have looked at various webpages but they all talk about mapping the website before converting, and I dont even know if that was done when we backed it up.
So does anyone have so “fail safe” do it this way websites? Everything I look at seems to be advertisements for companies to do it for you, and we are a tiny village association with very little money.
Thanks!

You have three options;
1. Learn wordpress and drupal and do this yourself
2. Get software to do it for you
3. Pay a developer to do it.
The scope of this request is too great to cover in reddit comments. Drupal is not WordPress and WordPress is not drupal, they are built differently and it’ll require knowledge with both to do this alone.

You’ll have more luck posting this in a Drupal sub – it’s not really a WP-related question.
You could try wayback machine and see if pages exist there and pull what you need and just rebuild that way as well.
