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

    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!
