Replace you live company with a data backup
Description

Replacing the company data in your live system returns your company to the point you originally created the backup. Select this option is you want to reprocess your payroll.

 CAUTION: Replacing your live data overwrites all your current information. Be sure to back up your data before starting this process. Restoring a backup on an older version will require a data update, resulting in recalculation.
