 **It is extremely important that you back up your data frequently.** You can restore the program from the installation disks and the most recent update. The data however might be lost unless you backup the data files. In order to backup the data you must copy the files in the TaxCollection folder named X####DD.mdb where X is either M for municipal or S for school, #### is the year and DD is the 2 digits of the tax district. For example, District 1’s Municipal tax data for 2010 is contained in a file named M201001. The school tax data for 2010 for district 14 will come in a file named S201014.mdb. All files are located in the TaxCollection folder. **It is extremely important that you back up your data frequently.** You can restore the program from the installation disks and the most recent update.

 The program will prompt you for the location of the backup you made using the Tax Collection program and the year of the file you wish to restore. After you click ok the program will present you with a list of backups that it found with the most recent at the top of the list. If you click the check box in the Select column, then click OK the program will restore the backup made on that date. If the backup includes both the municipal and school files, then both files will be restored. The program will prompt you for the location of the backup you made using the Tax Collection program and the year of the file you wish to restore.

 This is a process that can sometimes recover corrupted data files. I hope that you will never need it but if it does not work, you will still have a recent backup, right? This is a process that can sometimes recover corrupted data files.
