Restore Data Files

Restoring Data files will replace the data for the currently open company with the data on a backup that was previously created in SherWare. Be sure that the backup file you are restoring is for the currently open company.

The files being replaced with the backup are the ones located in the path specified on the company information window as the Data File Path.

Always reindex your files after restoring a backup.

Backup To Restore From:
You will need to browse to the location of the backup, then click on the "Restore" button and the backup will be restored to the software.
To browse to the backup, click on the "…" button to the right of the "Backup To Restore From" field. This will bring up a window that allows you to browse to the location of the backup that was created.
The "Open" window will start at the default backup location, so if you used the default location when you created the backup, you should immediately be able to locate the backup. If you chose to save the backup to an alternate loation then browse to that location to find the backup. Once the backup is selected, press OK.
