How to restore deleted contacts with notes/history

[aspensys]

Using Act! Premium Version 21.0.295.0, Update 4  - using workstation with shared db

I need to restore 3 contacts with history & notes that were deleted today.  I have daily db backup from previous days, I also have a separate synched db on a laptop - it has the 3 contacts I need to restore..  How can I selectively restore just these 3 contacts with their history/notes? 

Restoring the entire db is not practical as many other changes have been made since daily backup.

Thank you.

The first thing is don't sync or you will lose the contacts from the remote database. Do a Restore As with the backup using a different name and then export the deleted contacts from the renamed restored database to the main database.
