Lost calendars/contacts
ReadyToPrint Organizer version 5 has redundant backup capabilities. If there is program or system crach, the program should be able to recover lost data.
Every time you enter a contact or event, the program saves a duplicate copy in "Recent Records", which can be accessed in Address/Calendar tab, under this sections:
"Data Recovery -> Recent Records"
Recent records will show the last 1,000 entries. If the data was lost in main record file, you can drag and drop records from Recent Records to the main record file.
The program will also make temporary backup files, which can be accessed in this sections:
"Data Recovery -> Automatic Backups"
You should have up to 5 automatic back up for each calendar/address file. If you loose data, you can look at Automatic backups. Hopefully your lost data will be found in that section.
However, automatic backups are always temporary. Eventually these files are deleted and replaced with newer automatic backups. That means some record which was entered 1 month ago may not be there in automatic backups.
You can make your own permanent backup. Clicking on "File" button, then click on "Make Backup File". Manual backups are not deleted automatically by the application.
If you do not find anything under "Data Recovery", it could be that you are on the wrong "User Account" on your Windows operating system. If there are two or more users on your computer, then you may need to logout out Windows, and log back in to the correct account.
