Restore from Floppy Disks

The worst has happened - your computer's hard drive failed and you lost all your programs and files.

Restoring the programs of EasyOffice is easy. Simply insert the EasyOffice CD-ROM and install the programs again.

If you have made backups, then restoring the data files (documents, spreadsheets, etc.) is just as easy, using EasyOffice Backup.

Step 1

Start the EasyOffice Backup program, choose Restore lost files, and then click Next.

 

Step 2

You will be asked where your data is.

Choose On a floppy disk, and then click Next.

You will be asked to insert the last disk of the set of floppy disks that your backup resides on. Insert the last disk or your set of floppy disks (or the only disk if your data is on one disk) and click Next again.

You will now see a message that your backup files are being unzipped. This will go on for a few moments. You will then be asked to insert "Disk Volume 1 of ...." (i.e., the first floppy disk). The unzipping will continue. If there are additional floppy disks, you will be asked for them one after another, until everything is unzipped, and your files are restored.

 

Step 3

You will see a message "Your data files have been successfully restored".

 

"Incorrect path found...." or  "Setting file could not be found..."

A setting file must be saved along with the backed up file (and will be automatically saved along with the backed up file, even if you do not specify one). If this setting file (*.sav) has been accidentally erased, then the backup cannot be automatically restored by EasyOffice Backup. (In such a case, you would have to manually copy back up files to their appropriate directories.)
