How ADR Helps

ADR can help recover a lost file by accessing transaction log file and a copy of the company file.

ADR restores almost everything except for the last few transactions using company file and transaction log file. 

Approach #1 Recover Recent Transactions

You try this method to recover all recent transactions by using transaction log file and ADR version of company file:

• Now run windows explorer and navigate to folder where company file resides. You can also run QuickBooks and click on product information and click on No company open window and look for the .tlg file. It will have same name as the company file. If file extension does not show then run windows explorer, click on tools and then on folder options and click on view tab and in the list uncheck Hide extensions for known file types, click on apply and then OK.
• Copy the .tlg file and paste it into the Qbtest folder on the desktop.
• Next, open QuickBooks and then the QuickBooksAutoDataRecovery folder which should be in the same location as the company file. Copy .qbw.adr file and paste it to the QBTest folder.
• Open this folder and pick file with .qbw.adr extension and select rename and delete .adr from extension.
• Run QuickBooks, navigate to QBTest folder and open the .qbw file. Verify transactions in the file.
• You can go a step further and run file-utilities-verify data.
• If file is OK, go back to QuickBooks and the location where .qbw file resides, rename it and move it to another location and then copy file from QBTest folder to the QuickBooks folder.
