The present invention relates to the field of network computing, and in particular to Web contents accessible via a portal. It particularly relates to a method and system for restoring content represented by time-dependently varied fragments of portlets aggregated in web pages of such web portal.It is proposed to enable a user to set a portlet into a “content recovery mode”. A respective user action on a respective GUI control (50) creates a URI that allows the portlet to generate its output as currently seen. The user may then send this URL to a friend, who can access the desired portlet output at any given time. Or, the user may save it at the own computer.
