Recover Database

Hopefully you will never need your backup. However, if the occasion ever presents itself in which you have to recover your data, just follow these steps.


To Recover your data:

a. From the main menu, select "File > Recover Database" which will present you with the following window. Again, it is a bit confusing as indicated above in that it asks for a File Name when you really just need to select a directory.

b. Navigate to the backup directory that you saved your backup to. As shown below, select the file named "nmcswDB_backup" that was created for you when you backed up your data.

c. Once your recovery database is selected, simply click the "Open" button and it will be loaded.

You will have to restart NM Collector Software but once you do your data will be recovered.
