Restore a Payroll Backup

This routine restores the backup of data, made prior to running the Payroll Update, back to your current data directory. All files are not backed up when you make a temporary backup from the Payroll update routine. Only files that are affected from the update of Payroll are backed up.

Please pay attention to the date and time the backup was created that you are restoring.

QTRYTD.DBF, EMP.DBF, PAQTRYTD.DBF, and PAYTRAN.DBF, and their Index files were backed up. They were copied from DBF to PAC file names. The CDX files were copied to PAX file names. The corresponding transactions for Payroll Update in the TRAN.DBF file and the BANK.DBF file are also deleted. Only these files, PAC will be restored as DBF files to your current data directory and their associated PAX files will be restored as CDX files when you select. Make sure you have not selected Restore A Complete Backup to current directory prior to selecting Restore Payroll Backup, or else files will not be correct.

The backed up data can be restored only once. If you try to restore again, the Platinum Edition displays a warning message as follows-.

EMP.PAC not found. Is this the correct data directory? Payroll backups can be restored only once. DBF backups have last name of PAC. CDX backups have last name of PAX.
