Web Rescue: Off-Site daily backups
This module and service are currently FREE
In the event of theft, flood/leak, or fire, local backups could be damaged. This free service gives you
peace of mind knowing that an extra copy of your POS data is safely stored off-site.
Web Rescue runs overnight, and transfers an encrypted copy of your POS data files to a secure server.
This is not intended as a replacement for your daily backup routine, but gives an additional layer of
protection. Once enabled, this happens seamlessly. Web Rescue can store your last 5 backups, including
all POS data and FrameVue image attachments. This data can be selectively restored, as necessary.
For Web Rescue to run, the computer must be left running overnight. Hibernation should be disabled.
One Time Activation Instructions:
From the MAIN MENU of your primary/server machine:
-Click CONFIGURE
-Click BACKUP tab
-Click to ENABLE WEB RESCUE
-Click to LAUNCH FROM THIS COMPUTER
-Click SAVE and OK
-The WEB RESCUE SETUP screen appears (this is also available at CLOSING screen)
-Select which days of the week your shop is normally open for business
-Select an appropriate (after hours) time for the process to run. Ex: 10pm, 3am, etc
-If you have FrameVue, you can check the optional box to back these images up.
-After reviewing the license terms, click I AGREE box
-Click BACKUP NOW to initiate a backup and test the connection
Restoring data from Web Rescue: (WARNING: this will set your system data back to a previous date and time!!!)
From the MAIN MENU of your primary/server machine:
-Click CLOSING
-Click RESTORE DATA FROM WEB RESCUE
-You will notice the last seven online backup sets referenced on the left side
-Put a check next to the date and time you wish to restore
-Click RESTORE
-Your current files will be overwritten and set back to the selected date and time.
Note(s): This feature is not intended as a replacement for your regular daily backup routine. It is still
important to do local backups, as part of your daily closing process. Ideally, a rotation of flash drives to
represent each day of the week should be used. Ie: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.
WebRescue does not back up your accounting program(s) or other general documents.
I cannot stress the importance of daily backups enough, and not leaving them in the machine. If you use
the same device every day and leave it in the machine - what would happen in the event of a loss due to
theft, fire, or power/lightning surge? Storing off-site, and out of the machine, is considered the best plan.
Tip: After this has been running for a couple days, click RESTORE DATA FROM WEB RESCUE (as above) to
verify that backup sets are accumulating in the list. You can abort the process without restoring. You can
also see the status of the most recent backup in the CLOSING screen.
