How to Restore a Database from Backup

Locating Backups
Zoot makes backup copies automatically and these backup files reside in the same file folder as the database file (.ZOT) itself. Backup databases will look something like this:

DATABASE.001

DATABASE.002

DATABASE.BK1

DATABASE.BK2

DATABASE.BKS

DATABASE.BKZ

All of the file extensions above (.001, .BK1, .BKZ etc.) represent valid backup databases.


Restore a Backup Database

1. Click the Databases button on Zoot's toolbar to open Database Manager.

2. Locate the most recent backup database file (by file date), then right-click on it and choose "Restore Backup Database" from the pop-up menu.

Zoot renames the problem database (with a .BAD file extension) and restores the backup database. If the problem persists, repeat the process above using the next most recent backup database file.


Notes:

· In order to restore a backup database, the problem database cannot be open in Zoot.
