Recover your data in Tally - Some Tips & Tricks
Sunday, September 17, 2006
Data of Tally is very vital for every user or company. More serious the user is more vital data becomes. In other words we can say more and more dependence on tally needs more and more care of its data. Although tally has provided many ways to protect you data but one way or other due to some human error or system failure we loose our data. Particularly in case of tally it cripples our day today business.
We have to first see why data has got corrupted the ways to recover depends on reason it got corrupted. Here are some tips and tricks which can save you the day. First of all lets see different reasons which can cause data corruption
Why data gets corrupted ?
The reason could be anyone of following :-
- While working on tally power goes off and UPS is unable to give you backup. Next time you would open tally the company in which you were working would get corrupted.
- The computer on which you re working is not operative and OS is not working properly. Somebody formatted it !!
- You have taken so many backups by copying the tally folder in so many placed that you forgot which was to original one.
- You have taken a backup and when you try to restore it your data is washed out.
Solutions to these problems needs common sense rather than tally expertise. Lets understand some feature and working of tally. Tally provides a backup and restore utility which collects all files of tally company into one file named tbk500.001. This way of tally backup is easier to restore as this one file can be kept save and easily can be restored instead of all files in that folder. If any of the file gets missing or gets corrupted tally data wouldn't work.
In first case when data gets corrupted while working on tally and we are unable to open the company then data can simply rewritten. Come to Company selection menu. Press "Ctrl + Alt + R". Now select the company for re writing. 90% chance is that you problem would be get solved.
In second case when OS system is not working then to recover data you need computer skills and some common sense solutions can get you out of this problem
If windows is not loading then you can try to boot the system in DOS mode. Copy all t
ally folders and data folders into D drive. If DOS mode is also not working then take out the HDD and connect it with other computer with os system and try to open it. If the disk is ok and without bad sectors then you would be able to open the tally folder. If still it not working then before formatting give it a try with some recovery software or ask your computer hardware expert to recover data folders from drive.The third case happens when people are running so many versions of tally and all versions work on different directories. More over they take backup by copying folders of data directory instead of taking backup from tally itself. In that case you too can get confused which one is latest and which folder is needed to be restored. In this case just remember the No. of your company in tally. For example if your company No. is 006 then go to search utility of windows and enter 006 in search box and begin search. You would see the list of folders. Now in see the locations of each folder and see the date of last modified or accessed. Choose the latest one and copy that folder in tally's current data directory. You would probably find the right one. One more method can be that you look for folder which has largest amount of data. Just go to each folder right click on the name and select properties. Here you would find the total file size of that folder. The biggest folder would be the current folder.
The fourth case happens you have created somany companies and when you restore the data that current company is not in your older data. This can also happen when data backup you have taken is already corrupted. In this case there is no solutions except you find some other backup which you have taken fortunately and which is good as well. To do some once again you can use search utility and look out for files names as tbk500.001 or what you can do is just type tbk*.*. It would get you all the files on your computer.
Some healthy tips can also save you the day.
- Take backup on regular basis make it a habit to take backup when ever you have done enough work. The frequency of backup always depends on how much work you do one daily basis or how much work you can afford to do again!!
- Take backup on the basis of name of days or name of month. If data is high then the backup destination can be like this d:\tallybackup\Monday or d:\tallybackup\Tuesday and so on. In this way you would get seven backups and all backups cannot be corrupted. If data volume is low then backup can be taken as d:\tallybackup\June if you can afford to do one months task in a single streach.
- Try to make minimum companies. It would save you lots of hassles.
- There should be only one Tally version and one Tally folder. Too many versions and folders multiplies your work. If you are two versions then try to sum up work in latest version as soon as possible.
- There must be proper power backup while working on tally. In network environment is a must on all nodes where tally is working.

Hi,
I have a problem with tally 5.4. Please try help me.
Recently, by mistake, I deleted some files from tally data folder. When I tried to restore the data from my backup, I selected another company (the second accident). Now problem is, I have no backup of second company. Is there is any way to restore the second company files (the over written files)??? Even with any third party software.???
Please, I need your help in this regard.
Thanks in Anticipation

Once your company data is overwritten then it is impossible to retrive data as the data is overwritten.
The only way is to do the rest of the entries again as there is no backup of the latest company with you.
Tips to recover scratched CDs
Don't you feel like crying every time you add another disc to your pile of scratched discs. Trashing that disc which contained your favourite songs, pics, files, games or videos is not easy.
Read-on, if you find yourself wishing for a miracle every time your fav CD is scratched:
Home Remedy :
here's an easy home remedy, which might give you the desired results. Rub a small amount of toothpaste on the scratch and polish the CD with a soft cloth and any petroleum-based polishing solution (like clear shoe polish). Squirt a drop of Brasso and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Technology to the rescue
There are many softwares available on the net, which enable the recovery of the CD data. BadCopy Pro is one such software, which can be used to recover destroyed data and files from a range of media.
Just a few clicks is all it requires to recover the disc from almost all kind of damage situation; be it corrupted, lost data, unreadable or defective.
DiskDoctors is another popular company, which offers both software and solutions to recover data from a scratched CDs and DVDs.
General Tips:
* Always wipe the CD from the center outward with stratight spoke-like strokes. Wiping CDs in circles will create more scratches.
* Do not scratch the graphics layer as you cannot repair the disc. HINT: Hold the disc up to a light with the graphics layer facing the light source. If you can see light thru the scratches at any point then the disc may be irreparable and or exhibit loading or playing errors.
* Clean your Disc players lens regularly with a suitable product to ensure optimal viewing pleasure.
* Make sure to use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean both sides of the disc. Wipe in a straight line from the centre of the disc to the outer edge.
* If wiping with a cloth does not remove a fingerprint or smudge, use a specialized DVD disc polishing spray to clean the disc.
* Only handle the disc by its outer edge and the empty hole in the middle. This will help prevent fingerprints, smudges or scratches.
Statistics:
*Fingermarks/ prints cause 43% of disc problems!
* General wear & tear causes 25% of disc problems!
* Player-related issues cause 15% of disc problems!
* User-related issues cause 12% of disc problems!
* PlayStation 2 machine scratches cause 3% of disc problems!
* Laser rot (a manufacturer error) causes 2% of disc problems!

I had problem with tally 4.5. My hard disk crashed and i could not take backup by backup command of tally. I had copied the 'data' directory of tally on separate hard disk, but now as Window ver is changed and has become Win XP I cant run tally4.5 on my system and so i am not able to restore my data. How can I restore the data if i use higher ver of tally?
convert the data to 5.4 first by 5.4 conversion utility shown in download section on the right hand pane.
then open that data in tally 7.2 version.
use 7.2 migration utility just below the link and convert it in tally 9.
As a whole you need only two utility and one tally 7.2 version. then you can continue using tally 9

Tally Helper says
while we copy some files from CD to any folder in computer their attribute changes to read only. Tally gets problem in reading and modifying read only file. So first we have to remove read only by right clicking the company folder and removing read only tick in properties of the folder.
If it still doesn't work then rewrite the file again.

Pls help
Hi ..
i surrendered my tally 9 and installed the tally 9 in another computer now if i take back up and restore it the new system its say wrong version of tally what is the problem
Check both the releases they must be same.
i.e. at present both should be Tally.ERP9 rel 1.5
If the release you are now activating is lower then what it was previously installed then this problem arises.
I have stock codes under one company i want to copy the same stock codes into another. Please tell me i can do or not in Tally
