Restoring your database from a backup

If your ComicBase database is damaged, you may need to open a backup file.

By default, your file and your backup are stored in Documents\Human Computing\ComicBase Databases folder. If you do not see it there, go to Setup > Preferences. If you are saving your backups to a different folder, it will be shown in this field.

Right-click the name of your current ComicBase database and select Rename from the menu to rename your database. For instance, if it is called ComicBase Database.cba, rename it ComicBase Database-bad.cba.

Backup files have parentheses, i.e. ComicBase Database (Backup 2014-4-3). Right-click on the most recent backup and make a copy. Right-click the backup and select Rename to remove the parentheses so the backup has a name like ComicBase Database.cba.

Go to ComicBase.Go to File > Open to open the backup you have just renamed.
