<p>You are attempting to restore from the wrong file type. .mdtxnarchive is a file that tracks changes made to your data. Consider it something akin to a journal entry.</p>
<p>The file that you need to restore from will have a .moneydancearchive file extension.</p>
<p>Provided that you are using the default location for Moneydance backups, the easiest means of locating them is from within Moneydance.</p>
<p>Open Moneydance.<br>
From the Moneydance menu bar, go to Help > Show Backup Folder.<br>
In the resulting window a list of your backup files will appear.</p>
<p>Make sure that you know and understand this location for future reference.</p>
<p>Instructions related to backup are provided in the following Moneydance KB article.<br>
