Use this screen to restore your database from a backup copy that you previously created using the Backup database screen. This will replace the current database files (and optionally report files too) with the files contained in a backup Zip file. Any data that you have entered since the backup copy was made will be lost. If you wish to view the contents of an earlier version of your database without losing your recent work then you must restore the database to an alternate location. To restore to an alternate location you must use the external QFRestore application, not the built-in Restore screen.
If you have the multiuser version of QuickFill you must be in single user mode to restore a database. To switch to single user mode first make sure that all other users of this database have exited from the QuickFill application program, then select 'Single user' option from the 'File' menu.
Reason for restoring
Whatever you type in this field will appear in the heading of the report file produced by the Restore operation. You can leave this field blank if you wish.
Restore from the following backup file
If you know the name of the zip file containing the QuickFill files you wish restore, you may type it in here, but you will probably find it easiest to click on the “Browse” button and select the file from the appropriate directory.
Restore database files
Check this box if you would like to restore your database files. This is the normal choice, but you can elect to restore the report files without restoring the database files.
Restore report files
Check this box if you would like to restore your report files (including any bill, renewal, and label files that you may have backed up).
Warning: duplicate file
names
QuickFill creates report files with names like ReportName-nnn.QFRPT,
where "ReportName" is the name of the report (such as, NewOrderHistory)
and the "nnn" is a number. Each time a report is created, QuickFill
searches for the first number in the range 001 to 250 that is not currently
in use. As time goes by, and reports are printed, deleted, and then more
reports are created, the same report file name may be assigned to several
different reports. If you restore the report files without also restoring
the database files make sure you have a backup copy of the current report
files, because restoring the old report files will probably overwrite
some of the more current report files.
Restore Now
When you click this button the restore operation will begin immediately. You cannot schedule a restore for later execution by placing it on a job list.
