Restoring a company database from a backup copy

If your computer is damaged or your data becomes corrupted, you use the Restore Company from Backup tab to restore your company from a backup file.

Before restoring a company

Determine the date that valid data that you want to restore was most recently backed up.
Identify the name and location of the backup file for that date for the company.

The default location for backup files is: C:\Sage100Con\Backup\On Demand.
Make sure no other users are logged into the company database.

To restore a company from a backup copy

Click Tune Up / Back Up / Restore > Restore Company from Backup.
In the Enter the backup file you want to restore box, browse to and then select the backup file from which you want to restore your company database.
If you have installed a new version of Sage 100 Contractor since you backed up your company, select Upgrade the company database to the latest version after restoration.
Click [Restore Company].
