Jumping to share the steps for QuickBooks 2005, sheldon211.

 

The older versions, including 2005, has slightly different interface. Here's how to restore the backup in that version:

 

  1. Go to the File menu, then click Restore.
  2. In the Get Company Backup From: section, click the Browse button to specify the name and location of the backup file to be restored.
  3. In the Restore Company Backup To: section, click the Browse button.
  4. Indicate the location on the hard drive for the file to be Saved In and then type the name of the file in the appropriate field.
  5. Click the Save button, then click Restore.
  6. Enter the User Name: and Password: in the QuickBooks Login window (if file is password protected).
  7. Make appropriate selections in the QuickBooks Backup windows.
  8. Click OK in the QuickBooks Information window.
