CostGuard has a restore utility. This will restore data from a backup disk or directory. If something happens to your data, or you are having issues opening the files, use this command to fix these problems.
The Restore utility needs a backup file to work. Please make sure you have a recent backup file before you begin the process. For more information on how to create a backup file, click here.
