Archive Your Company Data

You can restore a backup of an archived company to its original location while in an active company if the original archive files were lost, moved, or damaged. When restoring an archive company backup, the archived company is restored, not the active company. To restore an active company, see Restore Company Data Files.

To restore an archived company:

  1. From the File menu, select Restore Archive.
    A Restore Archive window appears.
  2. Find the archived file you want to restore from the Look In drop-down list, or browse to find the file.
    The default is the company folder of the company you are currently using.
  3. Click the Open button to restore the archive, or click Cancel to cancel the restore.
    The archive is restored to its original location.
