[LM_NET] Tech Target: Mac Problem

[Brenda Lemon <blemon@473MAIL.NET>]

Okay, I think I royally goofed.  We use Spectrum for our cat/circ program.  We have 
a bookmobile in which we have one Mac computer that is a stand-alone.  A few times 
a year, I update this stand-alone computer by doing the following things.
1. Print off a report listing checkouts
2. Transfer all spectrum records from the server to a USB drive
3. Open up the stand-alone computer and delete all spectrum records.
4. Empty trash (have to do because of memory issues)
5. Replace all records from the USB drive.
6. Re-type circulation records back into the stand-alone

Okay, here is what happened.  When I went to re-type in the circulation records, I 
discovered that I had printed out the wrong report.  Therefore, the stand-alone 
computer lost all of the circulation records.

Question: Is there a way on a Mac that you can have it do a system restore back to 
a date.  For example, can I have the computer revert back to where it was before I 
did the update?  or are the records completely lost?
