Kevin Pittman has written a blog post called "So, You Blew Up Your Drupal 8 Site - Now What?" that covers multiple methods for recovering a dead Drupal 8 (or later) website (on the assumption you hadn't made a backup right before it died).
Editor's Note: In spite of the title, the blog post applies to all recent versions of Drupal: 8, 9, and 10.
Many Georgia Tech websites have been built using Drupal Express (DX), which is a custom version of Drupal that allows you to create a website with little technical or design expertise.
Drupal 8, released in November of 2015, was a major rewrite of the underlying Drupal code (Drupal's core engine and APIs). Because of the multitude of changes, there is no direct in-place upgrade path to go from any earlier version of Drupal to Drupal 8 or later. Instead, Drupal 7 and earlier sites must be migrated to Drupal 8 or later, which involves setting up a whole new Drupal 8 website and copying into it (manually or automatically) the content of the older website.
You can find Georgia Tech's license for Font Awesome 5 on Github.
