How do I restore from a backup file?
To fully utilise Software Assistant’s restore facility, you should set the backup feature to backup the database every day. This way you will have a wide range of backups to choose from. Assistant backup files are located in the _Backup folder in Assistant’s Data folder.
To restore from a backup:
- Select 'File > Restore from backup…' to open the Restore data form.
- The Restore Data form will list all the backup files available to restore from, sorted from earliest to latest. Select the backup file from the list and click Next.
- The Restore Data form will now show contents of the backup file. From here you can choose to earlier restore all data for a particular client or restore only the selected documents.
- To restore all data for a client: select the client from the list, mark the 'Restore all client data' option and then click on Restore. Repeat this if you wish to restore data for another client.
- To restore only the selected document: select the client from the list, then in the Client’s folder window, select the document that you wish to restore, mark the 'Restore selected document' option and then click on Restore. Repeat this if you wish to restore another document.
- Click on the Close button to exit the Restore Data form.
Please note that the restore function can only restore one client at a time.
