Recovering Your HomeBase Data

HomeBase has a Recover feature that will restore backed up data from HomeBase 2.x.  Do NOT use this feature to recover data from HomeBase 1.x.  Instead, use the [Load HomeBase v1 Data] command from the Tools menu to recover data from an earlier version of HomeBase.

Warning: When you recover your HomeBase 2.3 data, any existing data in HomeBase 2.3 will be deleted and replaced with the recovered information.

To recover your HomeBase 2.3 data:

1. Click [Recover] in the File menu.  The Recover HomeBase 2 Data to dialog box is displayed.
2. Select a file to recover if it is different than the one HomeBase 2.3 automatically selects.  
3. Click the [Open] button.
4. Click the [OK] button in the Recovery dialog box.  The Auto-Generate Book Numbers screen is displayed.
5. If you would like HomeBase to generate book numbers for you, click the [Yes] button. If you do not want to use this feature, and would rather enter book numbers manually, click the [No] button.  Abebooks recommends clicking the [Yes] button.

Note:

• In order to recover your lost data, you require backup files, which you create in advance.
