Support CenterPerforming a Restore from Disk
📚 What This Guide Covers
This article explains how to perform a Restore from Disk in SureFire. This process is used to load tax returns or system information that was previously saved using the Backup to Disk tool, typically from an external device like a flash drive.
📊 Restoration Process
Step 1: Access the Restore Tool
Only the Admin user can initiate a system-wide restoration of data.
Sign into SureFire as an Admin. Navigate to the Tools menu and hover over Restore from Disk. You will see several options; choose the one that matches the type of backup you previously created.
Step 2: Select and Restore Returns
Choose specific returns or restore your entire database at once.
After selecting your restore type, a window will open listing the available returns in the backup. You can:
- Select individual returns to restore.
- Select all returns to perform a full restoration.
Click the restore button to begin the process. Note that this may take several minutes depending on the volume of data being processed.
✅ Completion Report
Once the restoration is finished, SureFire will display a detailed report showing exactly which returns and files were successfully restored to your system.
