The Status will show Backup Done once the backup is done. The backup to an SD or USB drive can be slow, so allow it to backup.

ArisNote 2020 does not include a restore function. This was done to prevent accidentally overwriting your files. You can manually restore the files by copying the files back into the directories at

C:\Program Files\ArisNote\ as needed.
