How to recover from a system crash?

How do you recover from a total system crash?

Let's say the PC was replaced with a new PC.

Do you just install 4POS then restore the last 4POSBACKUP ?

Or is it more complicated than that?

ITS SIMPLE AS YOU HAVE SAID. YOU RESTORE FROM YOU LAST BACKUP AND YOU WILL BE UP AND RUNNING. WITHOUT BACKUPS THEN YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW LICENSE

OK. So what should I backup to make sure I can recover 4POS?

which 4POS directories? Registry? files?

4POSBACKUP only backs up the databases? Is the license stored in the database somewhere?

Asked & answered.

The licence key is stored in the database, so when you backup, you are safeguarding your licence.

On a new pc, you will install 4POS & then restore the backup.

I upgraded the system as it was demonstrated in the video. i am getting problem when i go to "Utility tab" and click on "restore backup", it asks for authorization password. i don't know which password it is asking for?. while i didn't set any password for backups.

It is the 4POS Master password....
