Repair Company Data in TallyPrime | Rewrite

Situations such as glitches in the data, sudden crash of your system, unauthorised access to data, invalid entries, and so on might lead to data corruption in TallyPrime. Using the Repair function, TallyPrime can identify the corrupted data, repair and recover it successfully.

Any data that can’t be recovered is safely removed to protect the rest. 

If you are using TallyPrime with Edit Log enabled or TallyPrime Edit Log, the Repair feature removes the Edit Log information about your company data during repair.

Repair Data in TallyPrime

1. Press F1 (Help) > Troubleshooting > Repair > select the company that you need to repair.
   Alternatively, press Alt+Y (Data) > Repair > select the company.
   

   Locate the company name displaying status as Repair Required. However, in some cases, the data might be damaged internally, but no status is displayed.

2. Backup Company Data before Repair: Yes. You are recommended to take Data backup a local drive or TallyDrive before migration.
3. Set the backup destination path, if needed. In case of low disk space, TallyPrime prompts you with the required free disk space to proceed.
   
4. Press R (Repair) to repair the data.

Repairing the company data might take a while depending on the complexity of the damage and overall size of the data.

In the Gateway of Tally screen, press Ctrl+Alt+R to open the Repair Company screen and proceed to repair your Company data.

For TallyPrime 3.0 & later, TallyPrime displays the Statistics report displaying the voucher and master counts before and after repair. In case there are exceptions in the data due to Repair, you can resolve the exceptions from the Repair Exceptions report. For TallyPrime 2.1 & earlier, no such report is available.

Statistics of Company Data after Repair | Summary of Repaired Data

On successful repair, TallyPrime displays a Summary report displaying the number of vouchers and masters after repair.

If there are any exception in your data, the report displays the difference in the number of vouchers or masters across the Before Repair and After Repair columns. 

The table displays the count of total masters and vouchers before and after the repair process.

• Press Alt+F5 to view the Statistics in detailed format. On successful repair, the count before repair matches the count after repair. The report appears in detailed mode displaying the comparison for each master type and voucher type.
• Press Alt+F5 to view the Statistics in condensed format. 
• In case of exceptions, press Alt+X (Repair/Migrate Exception) to open the Repair Exceptions report and resolve the exceptions (Watch video).
• Select F1 (Help) > Troubleshooting > Repair/Migrate Exceptions.  Alternatively, Alt+Y (Data) > All Exceptions under TROUBLESHOOTING to access the exceptions related to repair.

For TallyPrime 2.1 or earlier...

Force Repair Company Data using Zero Command Repair

Partial repair of data may result in some data loss, along with loss of the edit log of the lost masters and transactions. However, since the data gets repaired, you can continue to use the data and fill in the lost data manually.

1. Click the Windows icon on your computer > type Run > press Enter.
2. Enter tally.exe followed by <file path> <data path>.  For example: If the data is in the application folder, then use “D:TPR 2.1tally.exe” “D:data” 0. If the data folder and the application folder are in different location, then use “D:\TPR 2.1\tally.exe” “D:\data” 0.
3. Click OK. TallyPrime will open in the Zero Command mode.
4. Choose the company that will need Zero Command mode Repair. 
5. Configure, if needed, and press R (Repair) to repair the data.

Questions & Answers

1. My Company data is corrupted. How can I upgrade to the latest TallyPrime release?
   If your data is showing corrupted and you want to upgrade to the latest release, migrate the data. TallyPrime takes care of repairing the data internally. If your data is showing corrupted after migration, repair the data in the release you are on.
2. I have already migrated my data. I want to use the data in the previous version now? What should I do?
   If you have already migrated the data and wish to use the same data in the previous release, first repair the data in the previous release and then load the company.
