How to Restore Your Organizer Advantage Database from a Backup

This guide explains two restore operations:

1. Restore Database: This option replaces the current FDB file with a backup file.
2. Restore Data Folder: This option extracts the contents of the ZIP file back to the data directory.

Additionally, it provides instructions on how to identify the correct backup file by its name and date, as well as guidance on when to use each restore option, including transferring data to a new computer.

The Organizer Advantage backup procedure creates two backup files:
FDB file: contains your data. You can restore data from this file.
ZIP file: is a compressed (zipped) file that includes all files and sub-folders from "C:/adv_Your_solution/data/db/" (report, label, configuration, customization, image files)

Verify database name. The same name is used in the backup file.

How to restore data?

On the Backup tab, click Restore Database.

In the Open File window select the backup file from the list (file name includes database name plus date in the following format YYYYMMDD), click Open to finish.

How to restore data folder?

On the Backup tab, click on the Restore Data Folder. Select the file and click Open to finish.

Usually you will use this feature when moving all your data and files to a new computer.
