IMPORTANT NOTES:  When Restoring data, ALL of the current data on the user's computer for that particular category/year is REPLACED by the Backup data. ie. if Restoring 2020 Contributions, the data is completely deleted and then replaced with the data from the 2020 Contributions Backup file. The data is not combined or merged, but is completely replaced.

Only data for the year selected is restored unless using the "Everything" option. Prior or future years must be restored separately. A backup for each year to be restored must be made before data for that year can be restored. If you are restoring multiple years of data, restore the oldest year first and then work your way forward.
The Everything backup should generally be used when recovering from massive data loss or when transferring data to a new computer. We do NOT recommend using this backup to keep two computers in sync.
