Closing payroll year and no historical data

SOLVED

Hello,  I followed the steps to closing payroll and under show archives it lists the 2014 payroll file.  When I open the file there is no data also when I was about to post the payroll for 2015 there is no more historical data in Sage for any year.  I was told to restore my back up but I don't feel confident restoring without further instructions.  Can I just restore payroll files or do I need to do a full restore?   What steps are required?   Thank you.
