Q: How do I restore my data from the backup copy of my MacGourmet3Database file?

A: To restore your data, all you need to do is put the backup copy of your MacGourmet3Database file back into your Documents folder.

This file is your actual database, and cannot be imported in the same way a MacGourmet export file can be imported. You need to actually put this file itself back into the expected location, so that MacGourmet can find it when it starts.
