To restore a backup into a new Set of Books:

1.Open Phoenix and in the Select Set of Books window, select New Set of Books...  

2.Type in the folder name you wish to use and click Create

3.Select the Restore from Backup option and click OK

4.Select where you want to restore the data from (Drive, Email, Phoenix Warehouse)
 
If you are restoring from Drive, click the rest_browse_v8 button and browse to the particular file you wish to restore.
 
If you are restoring from Email, Phoenix will scan the Email inbox of the default email program set in Windows.  When Phoenix has stopped searching, select the backup you wish to restore from in the From dropdown list.  See also Configuring Emails.

5.Click on the Start Restore button

6.When restore is complete, click the Close button

Note: While it is possible to rename your backup files, the default backup file name is a reverse date and time stamp followed by the Phoenix version number. E.g. 2021-02-06 at 09.50_v101.PXBAK

NB: To restore a backup received as an attachment to an email when an email option other than Email Client in Send Emails is selected in Phoenix, the following steps are recommended. Save the backup attachment to a location on your computer. In the Restore Data window select Drive and use the browse button at the end of the From line to navigate to the saved backup file.
