Download and safely restore a SINAD backup
A backup restores company data to the backup time. Restore is not an additive import: newer data absent from the backup may be removed.

Before you start
Select the correct company and verify permissions. Learn in a test workspace; posting or restoring can change actual data.
Workflow
- In Backup, download a full copy and confirm the file is saved in a safe location.
- For restore, upload the correct SINAD file and read the comparison before applying.
- Review records to be added, changed or removed; download the pre-restore safety backup.
- Apply only after review; if the comparison expires or data changes, upload and preview again.
- Set a download reminder if needed; reminders do not automatically download a file to your computer.
Watch this distinction
Current passwords, sessions and secrets remain current. Restored reports do not replay previously sent messages. Verify the result before resuming work.
Verify the result
Reopen the record and check saved values and state. For financial operations, compare the document with the relevant movement and report before continuing.
