Restoring into an Existing Company

Question: How do I restore from a backup into an existing company?

Answer: Follow the instructions below.

• In your payroll program, go to the "Employee Information" screen.
• Go to the "File" menu and select "Restore".
• In the window that opens from the "Backup Sources" dropdown menu, select the date for the Backup you wish to restore. 

• In the "Options" section, you have a couple of choices, choose one.
• Selecting "Clean Install" will overwrite the current information in the program for your company with the information from the backup.
