For builds 4.1.15 and above:

You can find the database file at the following location:"C:\PaperTiger PTxxxxx41 Backups"

Note: XXXXX indicates Professional/Basic/Network. It depends on the type of the Paper Tiger version you have. 

 

For builds 4.1.12 and below:

You can find the backup file at the following locations:"C:\Program Files\The Monticello Corporation\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Backup".

 

You can find version 3 database on your harddrive at: Programs files/The Monticello Corporation/*.ptd file. 

 

You can find version 2 database on your harddrive at: Paper Tiger Single User 2.0/Databasefiles/*.ptd file

 

If you want or need to send the root database to our tech support team: 
<database name>.mdf 
and <database name>_log.ldf 
If you are a Network user, please also send PTAdmin.mdf and PTAdmin_log.ldf 
You can find .mdf & .ldf files at below location on SERVER system: 
“C:\Program Files\The Monticello Corporation\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Data”

What if there are no BAK files?

The data must reside some where.

Please HELP!

Dinah,

If there are no .BAK files, it means something is wrong! Navigate to C:\Program Files\The Monticello Corporation\MSSQL.X\Data\ and you should see a bunch of .MDF and .LDF files. These are the raw database files that you can send us and we can convert them back into a .BAK file for you. Just use the link at the top to create a new support request.

Thanks!
