Yes you can do this.
For PT versions 2003/4 and above, just do a File>>restore. Navigate to the
appropriate backup file (ptb) and specify that you wan to create a NEW
company. Then go into Maintain>> Company Information and change the company
name to include the "04-05". Close and reopen PT and you will see the 2
companies.
BTW, for reports that allow you to specify an actual date range, your old
data is still accessible as long as you did not run the Purge wizard. So
depending on what you are looking for, you may not need to open the old data
file.
