Program Backup

 

This function will perform a program backup directly to the internal hard drive or a USB thumb drive. This allows you to backup any program changes made and restore this program at a later date if required.

 

 

By default the backup will be named gopos-pbackup.op. If a previous backup already exists in the current directory, the new program backup file name will be incremented by one (example gopos-pbbackup.op(1), gopos-pbbackup.op(2), etc).

 

To change the backup file name, press on the file name to enable the virtual keyboard and type a file name of your choice. Please ensure that you keep the .op extension as part of the file name or the Program Backup may not be usable during a Program Restore.

 

If you do not see the file name, the virtual keyboard may be hidden by pressing on the Back button (triangle) in the navigation bar. Once completed, press SAVE to the right of the file name. A "Program backup started" message will be displayed.

 

 

Once completed a "Program Backup performed successfully" message will be displayed.
