directory is selected for reloading.
To restore a Backup directory:
• Select Restore Backup from the File menu;

• Click the OK button or press
Enter
on the keyboard;
A pop-up dialog box will appear giving you the option of Replacing the Exi-
sting Title, Saving the Restored Title as a new Title, or Canceling the Backup.
If you select ‘Replace the Existing Title’, you will not be able to replace the
Session Configuration if it is currently loaded and will be given the option
to continue. You will also have the opportunity to replace the Monitor file
if it also exists. Choosing ‘Restoring the Title As’ will result in the normal
Window’s save screen.
Notes: Regardless of the method used to create it, after a Backup has been restored,
the resulting Title must be opened before use.
If you move production data between different consoles, it is advisable not to
restore certain files onto the destination console, since it may have different
hardware. This is valid in particular for the
monitoring.ini
files. You will
be asked whether you want to restore these files as well; in this case answer
negative if the two consoles are not identical in terms of monitoring.

it must be recalled using the Snapshot page.
