Backup & Restore

summary

After reading this, you can plan and implement recovery of the Middleware.

Backup

With one of our products that includes our revision-safe receipt archive, you receive a backup in a secure and legally compliant way for receipts.

If you have not subscribed for such a product or use the middleware in offline mode, prepare a local backup for the following components:

• Database: The database you used for your installation. In case SQLite is used, it can be found in the data directory. Have a backup copy made regularly.
• Data directory: The necessary data to run your cashbox. Backup is only necessary after configuration changes (except when you use SQLite, see database).

caution

We do not recommend using a backup to migrate an active instance of the fiskaltrust.Middleware to another hardware. If possible, please set the queue out of operation and configure and install a new Middleware instance on the new machine.

Restore

You, as a PosDealer, recommend using restoring to:

• Create a new queue.
• Replace the queue in the cashbox installed on the system you want to restore.
• Rebuild the launcher and download it onto the new system.
• Install the launcher on the new system and start the middleware.
