Looking for an upgrade version?

A note of thanks for.....everything! I received a CD as a gift 2 years ago, and have enjoyed the recipes and the info on the website. I've entered many of my own favorite recipes as well. From the technical side, the program is so thoughtfully written and easy to use; very intuitive. I recently decided to install the CD on a laptop to use in the kitchen. I visited the tech support section of your website, and was able to fix everything with out having to call you, and without having to mutter bad words under my breath! You do an outstanding job of offering a useful product at a reasonable price, and backing it up with a commitment to excellence!

Sincerely,
Trish O'Reilly

Making, Finding, and Restoring Backups

To Make A Backup

Open up Cook'n
Click on the Recipes Tab.
Click on File > Backup.
In the backup window save your backup to a safe place (such as a folder on your desktop)
Then give it a name that you will remember.
Then click Save
After Clicking save, go to the folder where you saved it to make sure you saved it correctly.

To Find A Backup

First we need to find a backup.
If you have already made one and you know where it is you can skip the next step 8.
For those who need to find a backup do the following
Open up your "my Computer" or possible just your "computer"
Open up your C:drive and then your Windows folder
Inside this folder you should find a file called cooknbackup.ck9
If you have the Cook'n version 8.2 or higher there may be up to five backup files. The higher the number the more recent the backup (For example cooknbackup4.ck9 is more recent then cooknbackup2.ck9
Find the most recent one you can and right click on it and choose Copy
Then go to the Desktop and right click on a blank part of the screen and click Paste
Then open up Cook'n and click File > Restore
In the restore window click browse to your desktop and find the backup file that we had recently put there.
click on the backup file and click Open.

*if you do not have a recovery mode options close the errors and restart Cook'n if you still do not have a recovery mode option email support and let them know.

Restoring A Backup

First you want to make sure that you know where your backup file is. If you do not know where the backup file is then please refer to the steps above.
Open up Cook'n
Click file
Click restore
In the restore data window browse to where you saved your backup
Click on it and then click Open
It will then ask if you want to overwrite the data. If you are sure this is a good backup you may continue.
Your recipes will then be restored
