Restore

A restore can be done from an application or a profile backup. It can only be done directly through the backup application, which is stored at C:\Program Files\MachMotion\Backup Program\Backup.exe.

To do a restore, select the backup that you want to use. Then select the location where the backup should restore to. If you are restoring a profile backup, then you should select the profile folder to restore to. If you are doing an application backup, then you should select the Mach4 folder to restore to. After the locations are selected in the 'Restore' section, press the 'Restore' button. The status bar on the backup application will indicate when the restore is complete.
