DARNIT!!

I need to restore my jotter , datemate, calendar, CONTACTS and all the folders, etc...

Wait I think I solved it. You see, what I did before improting the old back up was relocate the directory to the dierectory I configured my backups to be saved on, do hope you guys get that. ( In backup and Restore you can customize the place where your backups can be stored thats why.) So what I did was link it the directory where my backup was and then import the backup from there. That seemed to be the problem since the file I imported was in the same directory as where I want to improt it, it wouldnt appear.

So what I did to solve the problem, create a new directory, Link the backup and restore directory to that directory, then import and file which was located on my old directory.

Well I do hope you get what I mean 😊 And I hope this helps all you others also! 😊

This still doesnt solve my problem on the other thread though which how mrouter connectes and the others functions wont please refer to the other thread for that.
