Before you Restore - Plan your database setup...

  • We strongly recommend having your existing "setup" available in the previous version or even better, on another PC running the same version of Cabinet Vision
  • Any materials, schedules, textures etc can be exported/packaged from your existing setup and imported via the Setup Package Utility (A great opportunity to clean out the system by bringing forward just the items you need!)

Our next step is to Unzip the downloads

  1. Place the downloaded files into the Automatic Backups folder
  2. Right click > Extract All
  3. Un-check "Show extracted files when complete"
