Re: how tro restore a backup ?
I thought I had included that in the manual, near the back with restore?

Terry,
Last time I looked at manual the restore section was not complete. Not like the V1 manual.

Re: how tro restore a backup ?
let me better clarify
there is an adif file and a json file
do you mean that we need to import the adif file only ?
in the import window , what are the difference among the 3 choices as 1) apply quality check etc ?

Re: how tro restore a backup ?
Depends on why you need to restore, database lost or corrupt
Configuration has been lost

Terry,
please explain me better, I am a bit lost.....
1) apply quality check --> ?
2) suggest quality checl --> ?
3) skip quality check
--> what is a quality check ? quality check on what ?
if you are restoring a database. you have already corrupted database(or, you need to restore an old database ) you overwrite it always
other question, I notice that restoring a database (and flagging the db deletion) it creates (unattended) a new backup database.
what is backupping ?
thanks
Don

Re: how tro restore a backup ?
Checks DXCC is correct, Prefix is valid, country name, looks for award references like IOTA, SOTA ARI which may be in comments of normal ADIF fields - and updates (Changes) as required.
2) suggest quality check --> ?
As 1 above but does not apply changes
3) skip quality check
Does neither 1 or 2 above - Does nothing
if you are restoring a database. you have already corrupted database(or, you need to restore an old database ) you overwrite it always
No you do not because that could leave remnants of corrupted data, we clean the database and add new data
Or in the case of importing data which is not in the database just add it
other question, I notice that restoring a database (and flagging the db deletion) it creates (unattended) a new backup database.what is being backed up ?
The original data is being backed up before clearing the database because perhaps you may wish to revert to it at a later stage
