Brewkeeper, there are so many possibilities on this subject that I couldn't even begin to cover them. The backup file should end in '.bak' and be located in the 'CRE.net' folder under Program files on your C drive if you did a typical installation. If the backup completed successfully, you should have received a completed popup. If you locate the backup file, the restore process will ask you what you want to call the restored database. If you are positive you want to do this, call it 'cresql'. This is the standard RPE database name. If you are not positive, call it something else. You may not use numbers. Try using 'restoreone'. You should get a message that database was restored. This does not, repeat does not make it the active database. You must then switch to the new database name you created. This will allow you to switch back and forth between databases. If you called the restored DB 'cresql', then it would be active and overwrite the current database. Any changed since the backup would be lost.
I repair RPE databases and am available if you need help recovering. Email me at [email protected] and I'll call you.
