Back up your database  le regularly
We recommend that you back up your Retail Point of Sale
database  le at least once a week.
You can do this by clicking the Backup icon in Retail POS
Administrator and choosing to save the  le to a separate
storage medium. We also recommend that you do not
overwrite your previous backup  le.
It’s important to make backups regularly because the
Retail Point of Sale 2011/12 database  le stores
information that does not transfer across to QuickBooks.
This includes:
Layby customer details •
Layby sales •
Held transactions •
