This information is only for the desktop edition of LabManager.

The Cloud editions of LabManager are automatically backed up every evening, and a rolling 7 days of backups are kept.

If you are using a cloud edition of LabManager, and need to restore back to one of the past 7 days, please contact us.




You'll need to ensure LabManager is closed before you restore from your backup file.


You should only restore from a backup file that was created with the same version of LabManager that you are trying to restore into!

From your Windows Start Menu, choose LabManager > Restore LabManager


  • Click the Restore button
  • Browse to your LabManager backup file, select it and click Open
  • Confirm you wish to perform a restore


The restore process can automatically make a backup of your current LabManager data, and save this in the same folder as the backup file you selected.



Once the Restore program has appeared, you can use the question-mark icon in the corner of it to view further help on restoring.
