Restore Your Settings

 
     

Once you have uploaded your preferences to our servers, you can use Exact’s Recovery Wizard at any time to restore your system to working order in the event of a complete system crash.  Even if you get a new computer – as many appraisers do every couple of years – you can use the Recovery Wizard to configure your software exactly the way you like to work, so you won’t have to waste hours reconfiguring and recreating databases.   Exact even makes accommodations if WinTOTAL is installed in a different location than the original.

     
  Note:  Vault Express does not include Exact. If you currently own Vault Express and want to take advantage of Exact to backup the rest of your WinTOTAL installation, visit our Vault web page to upgrade to a full version of the Vault.  
     

To retrieve your settings from Exact and restore them in WinTOTAL...

  1. Click Start, [All] Programs, a la mode Vault, Recover Your Preferences.
  2. After the opening screen, click Next and confirm your connection type.
  3. Click Next again and confirm your account information.  You shouldn’t need to make any chances here.  Just click Next again.
  4. Once your account has been verified, you’re given the option to use either the Easy Recover or the Advanced Recover feature.
    • The Easy Recover option simply downloads the most recent system files and puts them onto your system automatically.  If you have your backup run regularly, this is the most logical option.
    • The Advanced Recover option enables you to choose between any of the last seven successful saves of your user preferences.  Use this in the event that you don’t want to overwrite you’re your preferences but just want to restore specific preferences that you choose or if you need to restore preferences from a prior date.
  5. Select the option you want to use, and click Next.
  6. If you selected the Advanced Recover option, you’re prompted for the date of the preferences you wish to recover.   Most likely, the last backup should suit your needs.  Choose your preferences file and click Next to continue.

    AdvancedRecover
  7. Once again, if you selected the Advanced Recover, you then have the option to choose which preference you want to recover.  Pick the items you wish to restore and click Next again.

    ChoosePreferences
  8. Stand by as your preferences are restored. 
  9. Once the download is complete, simply click Finish to close the Recovery Wizard window. 

Your appraisal software is now restored and ready for you.
