How to restore a database on a Mac from a time machine backup rather than a TaxCalc Backup file

If you are not restoring the whole of your time machine image, the following instructions should help you get up and running on a New Mac.

• Download and install TaxCalc on your new Mac, the instructions at How to install the Mac version of TaxCalc will help
• Start it for the first time
• Follow the setup but just click through the stages do not personalise it as this will get overwritten
• You now have a blank database
• Close TaxCalc
• Go to Finder, then at the top of the screen click Go > Go to folder
• Enter ~/library and click Go Please Note: The tilde (~) is important
• Browse to Application Support > Acorah Software Products >TaxCalcHub
• Rename hub.sqlite as hub.sqliteBLANK
• On the time machine backup search for the hub.sqlite file and move it into the same location as the now renamed hub.sqliteOLD
• You now have a hub.sqlite and a hub.sqliteBLANK in the same folder – the blank one will be ignored from now on
• Start TaxCalc and you should now be able to see your data
