Hi Monica Lemons ,

Do you have a backup of these termbases, to restore them?

Assuming not, restoring a termbase from only .mdf or .mtf files might be challenging because these files are database files used by Trados MultiTerm, and they alone may not contain all the necessary information to fully restore the termbase. However, it's possible to attempt a recovery by following these general steps:

1. Locate the Files: Ensure you have access to the .mdf and .mtf files that comprise the termbase.

2. Use Trados MultiTerm: Open Trados MultiTerm and attempt to import the .mdf and .mtf files into a new termbase. In MultiTerm, there should be an option to create a new termbase or import one. Follow the prompts to import the files.

3. Follow Import Wizard: Trados MultiTerm typically provides an import wizard that guides you through the process of importing termbase files. Follow the steps provided by the wizard, selecting the appropriate options and pointing to the .mdf and .mtf files you have.

4. Review Results: After the import process is complete, review the imported termbase to ensure that all terms and data were successfully transferred. Check for any errors or missing information.

5. Backup: Once the termbase is successfully restored, it's essential to create a backup to prevent data loss in the future. Trados MultiTerm usually offers options to back up termbases within its interface.

 Additionally, having regular backups of your termbase files is crucial to prevent data loss in situations like this.

Hope it helps!
