You can only restore the data on the computer where the backup was made. However, you can transfer the data to your laptop using the following procedure:

• Make sure you have the same version of HerdLogic™ installed on your main computer and your laptop. Select Help - About HerdLogic™ from the menu on the main screen.
• Make a backup of HerdLogic™ on your main computer using the build in backup utility. You can select to backup on any medium, floppies, CD, Tape, Zip disk, etc.
• Make sure you have a copy of WinZip® loaded on your laptop. (If you do not have WinZip® download a copy from www.winzip.com)
• Assuming you backed up onto floppy diskettes, insert the last disk from the backup in the drive on your laptop.
• On your laptop, launch the Windows® Explorer, and select you floppy drive.
• Right click the file named LamaLogic_2000_COPY_2001dddd_tttt.zip, where dddd is the date, and tttt is the time the backup was made, and select "Extract to..." from the pop-up menu.
• Make sure to enter the correct setting as shown below

In the case where she rejected the male in all tease tests, but an ultrasound proves she is not pregnant; entering the negative test for ultrasound will terminate her perceived pregnancy. Because HerdLogic™ allows you to print the breeding records with the associated pregnancy tests, you will always be able to see the true course of events.

As a user, you can enter a negative test without resetting the status of the female to "open". In this case the status will remain serviced, and you will not see a pregnancy bar. A later ultrasound will then confirm if she is indeed pregnant. Any positive test will make the progress bar appear.

To summarize you can:

• Enter all rejections as positive to show the female as pregnant.
• Enter all rejections as negative and leaving the female as serviced.

Note: Most users prefer to enter the rejections as positive.
Remember, the reason you are conducting behavior tests is because you believe your female is pregnant.

There is another, albeit less desirable, method of entering a stillborn.
Instead of entering a birth, set the female status to "OPEN" and enter a comment. You can do this as follows:

1. Enter a negative pregnancy test. A Tease test will do.
2. Reply "YES" when asked if you want to label this female as "OPEN".
3. Click "Accept" to save the record and close it.
4. Delete the pregnancy test you just entered. The status of the female will remain "OPEN".
5. Select the breeding record and click the "Modify Record" button.
6. Enter "Delivered a Stillborn on year/month/day", or any other comments as you desire.
7. Click "Accept" to save the updated record.

Disadvantages of using this method:

• There will NOT be a record that this female gave birth.
• This record will NOT contribute to the average gestation calculations, and gestation history for this female. (There is no record of a birth.)

When you record the death of an animal, HerdLogic™ will automatically remove it from the inventory and move it to a location named <Unassigned>. Any young animal that is still "attached", i.e. that is not yet weaned, will automatically move with its mother to the new location. The proper procedure is to wean the young animal first. To retrieve the young animal do the following:

1. Select "Group Activities", "Move Animals between Locations".
2. Select <Unassigned> from the Source Location and press the Tab or Enter key. The deceased female should be in the list.
3. Select a Destination Location. Select the deceased female and move her to the Destination location.
4. Click "Accept" and close this form.
5. Select "Individual Activities".
6. Select and highlight the deceased female in the location where you put her in step 3. Her young will also be there and appear at her side.
7. Select the young animal and select "Activities", "Wean this Animal" from the menu on the top of the form. Make sure to assign a different location from the mother, otherwise it will not be weaned.
8. Now move the mother back to the <Unassigned> Location. An easy way to do this is select the name of the deceased female and highlight it.
9. From the menu on the top of the form select "Change", "Location of this Animal".
10. Click the "Move to <Unassigned>" button.

I plan to make a change in the next upgrade, to automatically wean young animals first, when the death of a nursing mother is recorded.
