Use the RESTORE command to restore part or all of a database from a file created with BACKUP.

About the RESTORE Command
To use RESTORE, the RESTORE.RMD file must be in the directory containing the R:BASE program files.
If you are restoring a backup copy from a floppy disk, insert the disk in the floppy drive. If there is more than one backup disk, insert the disk labeled 1 first. RESTORE prompts you for the appropriate disk and allows you to confirm each disk. If you backed up data and structure separately, you can choose not to restore any subsequent disks. RESTORE appends data to the table if it exists in the database.
If your database becomes damaged after your last backup and any of the .RBn files of the database remain, you can rename the database files, restore the database on a different directory, or erase them before you restore the database from the backup.
When STATICDB is set on-which actives a read-only schema mode-RESTORE is unavailable. For more information, see the "SET STATICDB" entry.
