If you have kept your installation disc,
re-install the software (see the INSTALL comparison).
If you do not have the disc, you had better hope that you can buy a replacement, because many backup programs
store your backups in a way that only the original backup program can recover your data!
Allow 3-4 days if you can't find it at a local store.
Next, configure the software (see the CONFIGURATION comparison).
Finally, restore your data. If you only want to restore some of your files, you'll need to find and select them.
What? you don't remember where your Outlook files are kept? You'll be spending some time searching for them...
If you have been using differential or incremental backups, you'll need to restore from 2 or more different backups.
For example, some of your Word files will be on your monthly backup,
others on your weekly backup and still others on your daily backup. |
Go to the Web site, log in and download the backup software.
Re-install it on your computer (see
the INSTALL comparison).
You will need your original high-security password to access your data.
If you have lost your password, you have also lost your data.
They cannot email it to you.
Next, configure the software (see the CONFIGURATION comparison).
Now budget some time to restore your data. If you need to restore all of your data, you'll just have to wait for the download.
A gigabyte of data takes a VERY long time when your business is shut
down...
If you only want to restore some of your files, you'll need to find and select them.
What? you don't remember where your Internet Favorites are kept? You'll be spending some time searching for them... |
Plug your BACKUPKEY in, then press 'Enter'.
Stop the countdown. Click 'View and Restore'. Select all or any part of your data. For instance, if you want your Outlook data, select 'Outlook'.
It's right there in front of you.
Oh, one more thing. You won't need to re-install the software.
