- [BACKUP]
-
- The backup program for Swift POS can be
- launched by selecting BACKUP from the FILE
- menu at the top of the screen.
-
- It can not be stressed enough the need for a good
- backup policy. Backup should be run EVERY day
- onto a removable media that can be taken off
- site.The reason for this is that in the event
- of a fire or other catastrophy, your business
- information would be safe somewhere else.
-
- Swift POS provides a backup utility that is simple
- to use. In order for the entire Swift POS folder
- to be backed up, the program first asks for a
- destination which could be a CD, disk, or tape,
- and then closes the Swift POS program giving it
- access to all the files. A different media such
- as a CD, disk, or tape should be used each day of
- the week and can be rotated on a weekly basis.
-
- For companies using Swift POS in a multi-user
- environment, the BACKUP program must be run
- on the system hosting the database files.
-
- The program produces 2 files, one with a (.zip)
- extention and one with a (.ini) extention. To use
- the built-in [Restore] program, both files are
- needed.
