My wife’s computer crashed. She had been backing up and I did find where she had backed up…quite a while ago. I did manage to save the contents of the C drive, and can find many program files but not Manager. Suggestions on finding this to see if I can bring it back up?

Download the latest version from [www.manager.io](http://www.manager.io) and import her backup business file?

Desktopversion files are normaly saved in:  
C:\Users\*Name of the user\*\AppData\Local\Manager

Or you can search for files with the extension:  
.manager
