Selective Restore from File System





QUESTION:

"lost ingredient list from one of my recipes, the recipe is here but the ingredient list has disappeared???? How do I retrieve the list of ingredients for this one recipe?" - James W.




ANSWER:

Hi James,

If you sign into your cloud account on dvo.com, are your ingredients missing from there as well?

If they are still on your Cook'n cloud, then go back into cook'n and click File>Restore>from cloud account.

If not, you will need to restore a backup file. Let me know and I will give you the steps.



QUESTION:

The ingredients are missing from on the cloud. Let talk about restoring a backup file… All I need is one recipe. I cant risk restoring the complete file with all the recipes, who know how many changes have been made to other recipes?????




ANSWER:

The best way to do this is to:

  1. Restore a backup file from your file system
  2. Export the recipe or recipes that you lost to your file system
  3. Restore from your Cloud Account
  4. Import the recipes from step 2

Expert tip: Since restoring from the Cook'n Cloud can take a long time (especially if you have a large database), here are some alternative steps you can follow to speed this whole thing up:

  1. Exit Cook'n (if it's running)
  2. Rename the Documents\Cook'n12\workspace\data folder to data-temp
  3. Launch Cook'n
  4. Restore a backup file from your file system
  5. Export the recipe or recipes that you lost to your file system
  6. Exit Cook'n
  7. Delete the Documents\Cook'n12\workspace\data folder
  8. Rename the Documents\Cook'n12\workspace\data-temp folder to data
  9. Import the recipes from step 5
