Choose the '''Restore Backup''' command in the '''[[File]]''' menu to restore a backup saved on a floppy disk or a location on the hard drive. This function is especially useful to join an OCAD file which was split to save on several floppy disks.

It is no longer possible to split OCAD Files with OCAD. This function is obsolete and is not used anymore. The only reason why the '''Restore''' function is still part of OCAD is that old OCAD Files saved on floppy disks can still be restored. After restoring them, make a copy on your hard drive.
 
To restore backups, saved with the '''Backup''' function use the '''[[File#Load|Open]]''' command of the '''[[File]]''' menu.
