Use these steps in the event that you would like to go back a few days to an older copy of the database for reference, and then return to the current database.

IMPORTANT!! Backup your current database before proceeding (choose File -> Database -> Quick Backup...) from the Daylite menu bar
This file will be restored once your ready to go back to it.

*Restoring the older database file

1. Log out of your existing Daylite database (choose File -> Database -> Log Out).
2. Choose File -> Database -> Restore Backup...  The Authenticate window opens.
3. Enter your Mac OS X admin password.  Click OK.  The Finder window opens.
4. Highlight the backup you wish to restore.  
(By default all backups are created and located in Hardrive -> Library -> OpenBase -> Backup.  However, if you copied/moved a backup of your database from another computer, use the browser window to locate it)
5. Click 'Restore'.  If Daylite detects a database with the same name, an alert window will appear advising you "The database 'database name' already exists. It will be stopped and renamed before restoring."
6. Click 'Rename' to continue with the process.  The Authenticate window opens.
7. Enter your Mac OS X admin password. Click OK.
8. When the database starts, the login panel appears with the database name and host filled out.  If a username/password exists for this database in the Connections list, Daylite will automatically try to connect.  Otherwise, it will stop and wait for the user to input the correct username and password.
9. When you have logged into the database, verify your older information.
