Program Restore

This function will perform a program restore directly from the one of your previous program backups. Pressing on this command will display a dialogue box prompting you if you wish to clear sales data and counters and whether or not you wish to restore the license file.

Clear sales data and counters

Press on the check box if you wish to clear all sales data and all sales counters. It is a good idea to enable this option if you wish to eliminate any test or training data whenever you are starting a new program and wish to start with a fresh database on this APOS.

Warning: All sales data will be permanently lost if you enable this option. Please ensure that you have a valid Backup of your data before clearing the sales data and counters.

Restore license file

Enable this option if you wish to restore the license file contained as part of the program backup. In general this should be done if the program backup you are restoring from was generated from the same APOS. If you are restoring the program backup from a different APOS, do not enable this option.

If for any reason you lose the license file, the first time you attempt to enter a transaction on the Register, GoPos will request that a license be installed. A new license may be requested by contacting Optima and and sending a screen shot of the license request to Support (possupport@optimagopos.ca).

If you are unsure if you should perform the Program Restore or hit the Program Restore function accidentally, press on Cancel.

If you are sure you wish to continue with the restore press on "Yes" to open the Android file manager. Navigate to the folder containing the program backup (gopos-pbackup.op) and press on the file to initiate the program restore. A "Restoring, please wait" message will be displayed.

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