Rewrite Corrupted Tally Data

Tally is the most widely used accounting software in India, and data corruption is a common problem mainly caused due to power failure, unexpected system shutdown, virus attacks, media corruption, OS corruption, or hard drive crashes. Since Accounting data is very important for its users, we provide the steps to recover such corrupted data.

Usually when Tally data gets corrupted you are shown an error message similar to this:

“Exiting Tally,

File Damaged

File: ‘C:/Tally/Data/0001/Tr08236.500′

Size;- 43126

Possition; 42780

Char;-128 (Done 128)”

or

Existing Tally

File ‘”iocl\tally 9.0 \data \10002\Tmessage . TSF

Size =0

Char 517 (done 0)

If you receive an error similar to above then there are very strong chances of recovering your data loosing only last few transaction entries. For recovery from such situations Tally provides an easy company rewriting option, which checks data files for valid entries and recreates the company profile with all the valid data it can recover.
