    Hi Marcon

     

    Your company file is an .myo file. Your backup is a .zip file with the .myo file compressed inside.  When restoring a backup using AE, you need to take care that you do not override your existing file, so take care with filename and location. AE also has max path sizes and max filename sizes. 

     

    You may need to:

    • copy the backup to a different location, for example desktop, then restore and/or
    • restore to a different location, for example desktop or
    • unzip the backup first and then Browse to select the .myo file

    Give the restored file a shorter filename.

     

    Regards
