1.2 How do I restore a backup if I received the room backup file (*.RoomBackup) from someone else? If you have received a room backup file (*.RoomBackup) during a visit via moove Roomancer, you can find this file in your moove installation folder (usually c:\moove) in the subfolder "Received". The file itself will be in the subfolder with the nickname of the user who sent you the room backup file. See picture:
If you have received a room backup file by e-mail or instant messenger, you can also follow the above instructions. Important information: Always ask the sender of such a room backup what room type it is, so you will know where to put the file! This will save you time and problems!

Create a new room (also described in 1.1) and choose the backup's room type (e.g. Bungalow). Enter the room. General Backup of moove Folders 2.
