TradeStation Help
Every time a TradeStation Backup Configuration job is run, a backup archive file is created. Each named backup archive file contains a copy of the TradeStation components selected. See TradeStation Backup or Running or Scheduling a Backup Job for more information.
Access using the menu bar File > Backup/Restore TradeStation > Restore TradeStation Archive menu sequence. The TradeStation Restore dialog will be displayed.
Click Start Restore to run the restore job with the selected status settings, click Close to exit without running the restore job, or click Cancel if you do not want the restore process to continue. The TradeStation Restore dialog is displayed informing you that running a restore job will temporarily suspend normal operation.
If TradeStation is open when a restore job is run, either manually or scheduled, the connection to the TradeStation data network will be closed and all TradeStation related processes will be stopped or frozen so that all necessary files can be accessed in the archive. During the restore process, windows will not update, alerts will not trigger, strategy automation will be suspended, and orders may not be placed. Once the restore job is complete, all open desktops and data network connections should return to their pre-backup state.
