2. Click OK. TallyPrime will open in the Zero Command mode.

Now you can proceed to repair your company data using the steps described in the above section.

Repair corrupt data from TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later in TallyPrime Release 2.1 | Newer Version Data

There are situations when you have already migrated your company data to Release 3.0 or later and the data gets corrupted. In this case, you might want to open the data in the previous TallyPrime releases. TallyPrime prompts you to repair the data in the release the data is compatible with to avoid the risk of further damages to your data.
 

1. Take a backup of the newer version data. 
2. Repair the data in the same version where you have migrated the data.
   This means, if your data was migrated to Release 3.0, consider repairing it in the same release. Repairing the data in Release 2.1 or earlier may lead to further loss of data.
3. On successful repair of the data, open the company using the earlier TallyPrime release. 

Irrespective of the repair scenario, data repair might take a while, depending on the state of the errors and size of your company data.

Statistics | Summary of Repaired Data

If you are on Release 2.1 or earlier, this is not applicable. Once you have repaired the company data in Release 3.0 or later, a summary report appears displaying a comparison of the voucher and master count before and after the repair process. The count includes optional and cancelled vouchers, but does not include any data that was damaged beyond recovery.  This helps you to take necessary actions on your data, if any, before you start using it. Once the repair is complete, you will see the following details on the Statistics report.

Partial repair of data may result in some data loss, along with loss of the edit log of the lost masters and transactions. However, since the data gets repaired, you can continue to use the data and fill in the lost data manually.

Data exceptions caused during Repair

While recovering and recreating the data in the repair process, some of your data might get altered internally creating exceptions in the data. In such a situation, any data having exceptions is pushed into an exception report. TallyPrime allows you to view all the exceptions caused during repair and resolve the exceptions by updating your data as per your needs.   

• Select F1 (Help) > Troubleshooting > Migrate/Repair Exceptions.
  Alternatively, drill down from Alt+Y (Data) > All Exceptions > Migrate/Repair Exceptions.
  Refer to the Data Exceptions & Resolutions topic for more information.
