Restoring Your Data
If you have used DMB's backup feature to save your data, you can
easily restore it.
To restore a backup:
1. Make sure the active database is the one
in which you wish to restore the backed up file. If necessary, use
the Change active
database command to activate the
database to be restored.
WARNING! When
you restore a database, the previously backed-up files are copied
into the active database, replacing whatever was there. There is no
way to reverse this action, so be sure that you have chosen the
correct active database before you use this command.
2. Click File on the DMB menu bar and
select Restore.
The following window will appear:
If the file is not located in the default location, use the
standard Windows navigation features to locate the drive, folder,
etc. where you backed up your data. Note that you will only see
files with the "zip" extension.
3. Click on the file you wish to restore and then click
Open. DMB extracts
each database file from the backup file, decompresses it, and
copies it to the folder where the active database is stored. As
this is happening, the following window shows a progress
report:
You will be notified when the
restoration process is complete.
