Drake Software User’s Manual
Restoring an Archived Return
When you restore an archive, you replace the open version of a return with an
archived version. Drake recommends that you preserve the existing client data before
restoring an older version of a return. A built-in prompt will suggest that you archive
the latest version of a return before restoring an older version.
To restore an archive:
1. From View mode of the return, select Archive > Archive Manager.
2. Click the row of the archive to restore.
3. Click Restore. A program prompt suggests that you create a new archive of the
current version of the return before restoring the older version.
• To create a new archive, click Yes. The Archive Client Return dialog box is
opened so you can name and save the new archive.
• To proceed without creating a new archive, click No. A final warning is displayed;
click OK to proceed.
4. When the archive has been created, click OK.
Deleting an Return from the Archive Manager
To delete an archive of a return from the Archive Manager:
1. From View mode of the return, select Archive > Archive Manager.
2. Click the row of the archive to delete.
3. Click Delete. You are prompted to confirm the deletion.
4. Click Yes to delete the file from the archive.
Once deleted, the previously archived file cannot be recovered.
