How do I restore data from my backup?

The following instructions are for NTS version 3.50 and above. If you have an earlier version, click this link for instructions:  Restore Instructions for older versions.

1.) To restore your data, return to the same screen where the backup was made. At the top, select the "Restore/Download Data" option.
2.) Select the data you want to restore from backup by clicking on the checkbox next to each section you want to restore. After you make the selection; the status will change to Restore Pending. Make sure that you have selected the correct year for Contributions and Checkbook. Use the left and right arrow buttons to change the year, if necessary.
3.) Select the drive that contains your data. Click on Location. A pop-up will appear on which you can select the drive/folder where the backup is stored. Check the Web Backup box to restore your data from your web backup. You will need to select the location for each individual backup.
4.) Make sure you have placed your backup disk in your disk drive and then click the Start Restoring Data button at the bottom of the screen.

If you do not get any error messages and you get the message saying "Restore Finished", then you have successfully restored your data.

NOTE:  When you restore data, only data for the year selected is restored. Prior or future years must be restored separately. A backup for each year you want to restore must be made before you can restore data for that year. If you are moving data from one computer to another and restoring multiple years of data, start with the oldest year first and work your way forward.
