184 – IMK Chapter 10
Let’s say your student wants to restore a backup file for a company
that was not set up in Sage 50. Some computer labs delete directories
from the hard drive; for example, a backup file exists but the company
is not shown when your student opens an existing company or selects
browse to check for that company. Or, the computer lab has Sage 50
2019 available but not the companies that students previously set up.
If you start Sage 50 and the appropriate company cannot be opened,
use the Restore Wizard to select Create a new company using the
restored data. Using the appropriate backup file, and the selection for
Create a new company using the restored data, your students can
restore data and set up the company at the same time.
➢ The Solution Files include all the backups made in Chapters 1-18 and
Projects 1, 2, 3 and 4. Sage 50 backup files are identified with a .ptb
extension. The password-protected Instructor Edition website at
www.mhhe.com/yacht2019 includes all the backups made in Chapters
1-18 and Projects 1, 2, 3 and 4. In order to obtain a password and
username for the Instructor Edition, contact your McGraw-Hill sales
representative at

➢ The Solution file backups can be used as student data to start later in
the chapter, or to help students start with fresh data in case mistakes
have been made. The Part 2 introduction on textbook pages 251–256
includes a chart showing the textbook page number where the backup
was made. The Chapter 10 solution file backups are also shown on
pages 164 -165- IMK.
➢ Since Chapters 9, 10 and 11 are cumulative, you may want to allow
students to restore a solution file so that they can complete their work
from that point. (Refer to the Part 2 introduction’s chart, textbook pages
254-256 or page 198 – IMK.)
