Restore Backup

Restore Backup (Mode 8)

TeknoParrot Manager backs up your entire UserProfiles folder automatically at the start of every run. Mode 8 lets you restore any of those backups from inside the script -- no File Explorer needed.

---

Backup location

<TeknoParrotRoot>\UserProfiles\FullBackup\<date_time>\

If backup folder creation fails (disk full, permissions), the script exits rather than proceeding without a restore point.

---

How to restore

1. Close TeknoParrot completely (the script checks and will stop if it detects TeknoParrot is still running).
2. Run the script and choose mode 8 -- Restore backup.
3. The script lists all available backups, most recent first, with file counts.
4. Pick one by number.
5. Type YES to confirm.
6. The restore runs. Re-open TeknoParrot to use the restored profiles.

Manual restore

If you need to restore outside the script:

1. Close TeknoParrot completely.
2. Copy the .xml files from any backup subfolder back into <TeknoParrotRoot>\UserProfiles\, overwriting the current files.
3. Reopen TeknoParrot.

Notes

• Restore mode cannot run with -Unattended -- it requires you to pick a backup interactively.
• Only UserProfile XMLs are backed up and restored; game files on your staging drive are never touched.
