Problems restoring backup

I recently restored what I thought was only membership records to my computer and lost everything I had in the accounting module. Since the backup disk had been done using 'all files', and everything in that system was blank except membership, it erased everything in my system. I had another backup disk with all files, but when I tried to restore, it gave me the following messages - DynaZip UnZip Error: Unexpected end of zip file (problem extracting files) Then another window pops up with this message: Error: open file 'c\pcplus85\prempl.dbf does not exist. Then while reindexing I get this message: Program: RCREIND Line: 585 Error: 52 Message: No table is open in the current work area. When I click OK, it closes PowerChurch.

What happened? I was able to restore to an earlier backup, but my payroll information is no longer there. Help! :!:

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner.

It sounds like the floppy the backup is on had a problem. Did you try to copy the file from the floppy to another, sometimes the Windows/DOS read will read more times than the backup attempts to read from a poor read spot on a disk.
