====== How To Restore From Backup ======

== Warning! You should be thoroughly familiar with the procedures and ramifications of restoring files. Improper use of any restore routine can lead to disaster. If you are unsure about how to safely restore files, contact Resaleworld Technical Support for assistance. ==

Note: You MUST be logged out of Liberty, the Point of Sale, and Reports Module on all stations, before performing the **Restore**, otherwise the process will fail.
