Loading from a backup
You may wish to load a backup copy of the data, rather than the original data provided. To do
this, you need to create a new dataset. Remember that a dataset is only a folder containing the
five items needed in the Data Load process. In effect, you would be combining three of the
items in the original dataset with the two items generated by your Database Dump (your
backup).
The steps to load from a backup are as follows:
1. You must have created a backup of the data by running Database Dump. Two items
were generated: a folder containing the company database and a control file with a
.dct extension.
2. Note the location where you saved these two items.
3. From the original dataset, copy the following three items into the location of your
backup in step 2:
 the system database folder
 the .dct file for system database
 the .ini file
Once you have all five items stored in the same folder, you can run Data Loader as described
above.
