Restoring Lost Voting Data from Backup Files

Symptoms

You forgot to save your session file, or have lost it for some reason.

Background

By default, OMBEA Response makes backups of your voting as you go. These backups are stored on the presentation computer. You can access them at any time you need.

Step-by-step

  1. Launch Windows Explorer.
  2. Browse to My Documents/OMBEA Response/Backups/Sessions
  3. You will see a series of OMBEA Response .ORS files in this folder. Each will bear the filename followed by a random number. You will usually find several files for the same presentation, because OMBEA will have taken several backups during your presentation.
  4. Select and launch the file you wish to retrieve. Remember to save it to your normal folders for future reference.
