Your POS Backup Is Part of the POS—Not an IT Afterthought

If the only backup is on the same hosting account, you do not yet have a complete recovery plan. Here is a simple routine for retail owners.

Retail data deserves a simple recovery routine

Sales history, stock quantities, customer dues and purchase records become more valuable every day. A backup process should therefore be understandable by the business owner—not only by a developer.

A practical minimum

  1. Create regular database backups.
  2. Download important backups to a separate computer or storage location.
  3. Create a backup before every system update.
  4. Keep a record of when the backup was created.
  5. Test restoration before you urgently need it.

DokanMate includes one-click database backup and download, and supported updates create a backup before changing application files.
