Restoring a backup allows you to return your entire Meeting Schedule Assistant environment to a previously saved state. This is useful after a computer failure, data loss, or when transferring the assignment to another brother.

You can access this feature from:

• File — Restore
• Toolbar — Restore

When you open the Restore window, you will see a list of previously created backups.

The history is sorted in descending date order, so the most recent backup appears first.

If you have created multiple backups using the same file name (for example, backing up twice to D:\Backup1.zip), only the most recent date is shown in the list.

Figure 1: The Restore window lists available backups in descending date order.

Select the backup file you want to restore, then click Restore.

The application performs the following steps:

1. Verifies that the backup file still exists.
2. Asks for confirmation, since the restore process cannot be undone.
3. Restores all data from the selected backup.

During the restore process, a progress bar is displayed:

Figure 2: The progress bar shows the current status of the restore.

If the backup you want to restore is not shown in the history list, click Browse.

You can then navigate to any ZIP file and restore it manually.

Select any backup in the list and click Open File Location to open File Explorer with the selected ZIP file highlighted.
