Restoring 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'll 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:
  1. Select File and then Restore from backup.
  2. 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 select Next.
  3. 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.
  4. To restore all data for a client: select the client from the list, mark the Restore all client data option and then select Restore. Repeat this if you wish to restore data for another client.
  5. 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, select the Restore selected document option and then select Restore. Repeat this if you wish to restore another document.
  6. Select Close to exit the Restore Data form.
