There are two reasons for restoring a backup. You may want to:

  • restore a backup locally in order to view historical information
  • replace your online company file with a backup file. Note that you need to be authorised to replace your online file with a backup.

 

To restore a backup to view historical information
  1. If the backup file is on a removable disk, insert the disk into the disk drive.
  2. Close any open windows, other than the Command Centre.

  3. Go to the File menu and choose Restore.
    The company file that was open is closed and the Restore Backup File window appears.

  4. Click Browse and select the backup file you want to restore.

  5. If the backup is password-protected, enter the password in the window that appears, and click OK.

  6. Select the option to restore the company file in an AccountRight library. To change the AccountRight library or library folder that the file will be restored to, click Change Library and select the location for the restored company file.

  7. Rename the restored file’s name if required. You cannot overwrite an existing file in the library.

  8. Click Restore to complete the restore.

To replace your working company file with a backup

When you restore a company file online, your online working company file is replaced by the backup file. Any changes you’ve made to the company file online since the backup file was created, will be overwritten. This process cannot be undone.

Checking for unauthorised transactions

Before replacing a company file, you can check what changes have been made to it by running the Journal Security Audit report. This report shows what changes have been made in a selected period, for example, since your last session. See Checking for unauthorised transactions.

Online administrator access is required to do this task.

  1. Open the company file.
  2. If the backup file is on a removable disk, insert the disk into the disk drive.
  3. Close any open windows, other than the Command Centre.

  4. Go to the File menu and choose Restore.
    The company file that was open is closed and the Restore Backup File window appears.

  5. Click Browse and select the backup file you want to restore.
  6. If the backup is password-protected, enter the password in the window that appears, and click OK.
  7. Select the option to restore the company file online with AccountRight Live.

  8. Rename the restored file’s name if required.

    The next step cannot be undone
    Any changes made to the company file since the backup was created will be overwritten.

  9. Click Restore to complete the restore.
