3)   Click the Browse button find the backup set to restore from.  This file may be on a USB removable drive, diskette, zip disk or CD. The backup set may be comprised of several files depending on the storage capacity of the backup media.  The farm number and farm name identifies the backup set by default and the file has a .001 extension. To create a log when restoring the farm, click the Create Log File option.  After selecting, click Next.

4)   The Select Files to Restore window will open.  If you are restoring a single farm database, simply click in top check box and select all files to restore.  However, if you re restoring from a multiple farm database then click the plus (+) signs in the tree until you see the farm number and farm name to restore.  Click the check box beside the farm to be restored and then click Finish.

5)   There is also a folder named “Control” if you checked “Restore Control Folder” and by default this is unchecked.  Do not check the control file unless directed by support because if a new farm or fiscal year has been added since your last backup, it will not be available after the restore.  You can restore all farm files or a single farm.
 

6)   Click OK and then close out of the Restore Farm Database window when completed.
