Post From: restoring trade activity log from backup

i tried restoring trade activity log from backup and the deleted fills aren't loading.

from your documentation here (https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TradeActivityLog.php#MissingTradeActivityAndBackupFiles), it says to remove the prefix from the beginning of the backup file.

The example you use is Example: 28.TradeActivityLog.Data.

But when I go to my Sierrachart installation folder, my trade activity backup files are named like this: 2021-03-17 164406.TradeActivityLog_2021-03-15_UTC.136344.data

When I rename this file to TradeActivityLog.data and copy it to the main installation folder, the backup fills still are not loaded.

Also, I noticed in the main SC installation folder, there's both a backup folder and a separate TradeActivityLogs folder. I tried copy pasting the data files from both to the main installation and renaming them "TradeActivityLog.data" but none of these options work. I feel like I've exhausted all options.
