Database Administration makes restoring your company data following a system failure or the purchase of new hardware a very straightforward process, assuming you have kept backups up to date in an accessible location.
On the Restore Company from Backup tab, you select the backup file you want to restore, select maintenance and backup options for the restored company, and then click the [Restore Company] button.
Note: If you installed a new version of Sage 100 Contractor since you backed up your company, you can choose to upgrade the company database automatically during the restoration process.
Restoring a company using a different name
There may be occasions when you want to restore a company from a backup copy without overwriting the company you are using in your production environment. For example, you might want to work with a temporary copy of the data for research purposes, without disrupting work in your current company.
Database Administration enables you to create a copy of your backed-up data by restoring the company using a different name, leaving the current company intact. Before you click [Restore Company], type the name you want to use for the copied company in the Restore as box.
