How to Restore Accounts to view reports of a prior year Profit & Loss /Balance sheet etc. How do I know what version of Sage Accounts created the backup?

Question

Year end has been run and I need the P/L report for the prior year. Sage Accounts will not run the prior year reports, so in order to view these reports do I need to download the version of Sage Accounts that created the last backup prior to running year end? if so is there a way to check which version created the backup? I tried opening the backup with notepad but gave up after 5 minutes of waiting!

Hi Graham Scott 
 To stop your archive crashing, delete archive.dta from your archive folder. 
 Click Help >> About >> Data Directory >> Archive and then open your archive again 
 Also if you update to v30.1, you can now restore a backup into practice data, saving time without the need to create new locations etc >> 
 Restore into practice data
