To restore company data, you must replace all the current data files with those that have been previously backed up. You cannot restore individual files because all files are related to one another.
If you backed up company data using Sage 50's backup utility, follow the steps below to restore your data. If you backed up company data using an alternate utility, you must use that program to restore your company data.
Warning! When you restore company data, you will overwrite your existing company unless you select to restore into a new company. You should make a backup of your current company before restoring your data, in case anything goes wrong.
From the File menu, select Restore. Sage 50 displays the Open Backup File window.
Note: You can also access Restore from the System Navigation Center.
To restore all Sage 50 Intelligence Reporting reports, select the Intelligence Reporting reports check box. Standard Intelligence Reporting reports will be replaced with the most recent versions available, but custom reports will be replaced with the set of reports included in the backup.
Warning! If you choose to restore Sage 50 Intelligence Reporting reports, any custom Intelligence Reporting reports you have changed since the backup was made will be overwritten and any new custom Intelligence Reporting reports will be lost.
Before restoring your Intelligence Reporting reports, you may want to export your custom reports and save them in a different location. You can import them back in after restoring the company if you need to. To export and import Sage 50 Intelligence Reporting reports, go to Reports & Forms>Report Manager.
Warning! Restoring is a potentially dangerous process; you will overwrite your existing data files, so make sure you have a current backup before proceeding.
During the restore process, Sage 50 displays a progress indicator.
Note: Depending on the quantity of data, the restoration process may take a while to complete. Be patient and do not interrupt the process. If you interrupt the restoration process, you might damage the data.
