Yesterday I made a mistake.  I had copied about 100 song files from my hard drive to a computer's desktop and then, while disconnected from JRiver, copied them back to the hard drive, took them to a bar I own and imported them on the computer we use at the bar to play music.  I do that all the time.  Here's my issue- I forgot to then delete the file from my hard drive so the problem is that when I got back home and connected my hard drive to the computer that has my JRiver program on it, because I have it set to import new stuff from my hard drive, it imported those new songs and created  new versions of the albums from which those songs were chosen.  So for instance, the album Sam Cooke "A Man and his Music" now has two track listings for "You send Me".  Hope you can understand what I've written.  Question is- can I easily "undo" that mistake and get my library back to where it was before I stupidly reimported those songs or am I going to have to go in and manually delete each song from the album's JRiver "folder"?  I guess it's kinda like asking if there's a "system restore" feature with JRiver.  Any help much appreciated!

Yes.  There is:

Thanks!  I read through it briefly but didn't see how I would be able to restore to a previous date.  Or will I see that option when I go through the dropdown menus?

Try not to read it so briefly.    

MC automatically creates Library Backups on a regular basis, approximately every two days. By default, these will be saved to the JRiver folder in the current user's Documents folder.

From this dialog, you can choose which Library Backup you'd like to restore. If you click the Browse button, you can navigate your computer's drives and choose any previously created Library Backup zip file. If you click the drop-down arrow instead, MC will show you the contents of the current folder where MC automatically creates backups, and you can choose from any available there.

Did the restore and it seems to have worked.  Except I lost almost all my cover art.  Did I do something wrong?

Figured out the issue.  Needed to have my hard drive plugged in.  All good now.  Thanks so much for your help!
