• When restoring a backup file you need to ensure that the backup file is restored into the same version of Shortcuts. For example a Shortcuts 2003 version 73 backup file can only be restored into a system running Shortcuts 2003 version 73.

6. Click the Open button. The Choose Restore Location window will appear with the available Shortcuts databases.
7. Select the relevant file path and click the OK button. A message box will appear asking are you sure? Click the Yes button to proceed or the No button to cancel the request.

Note: If the backup you are restoring spans over multiple disks, follow the on-screen instructions for each disk carefully.
