If 'ret_temp' does not turn green after half a minute probably there is a problem with MARS. In this case find the the 'backup.temp.odb' ODB Database icon at the top-right of the folder and rename it 'temp.odb' (right-click and rename). This icon contains the very same data as we wanted to retrieve from MARS. |
