Hi to all,
Could somebody tell me the exact procedure to restore a catalog from its backup. I did not find the info anywhere.
I could not import the backup in a new catalog and do not know what to do with the "adjustment" folder that accompany the backup.

Thanks in advance for any help

Emmanuel

  Just open it.
  
  
  The catalog Backup is just the Database.
  It's a little easier to explain to a PC user as the catalogs on PC are the database, and then a group of folders relating to it in a parent folder. On Mac, we can "wrap" the database and all the folders so it looks like one clean file, even though it's nothing more than a folder with all the elements within it.
  
  That being the case, simply opening a Backup Catalog is what is needed to "restore". The backup Catalog will then recreate all the Proxy files. It may not look as clean as the initial catalog because it's now broken down into it's visible elements, but it's all the same.
  
  If you really wanted to, you can put the backup and all the folder elements in a folder and then rename the folder to a ".cocatalog" Then, like magic, its a Catalog.
