====== Backup ======


===== Backup via PC CADDIE =====

:!: The backup described here __does not replace a complete server backup__. It is purely a  backup on a local directory (PC, server, USB or external hard drive), it is only meant as support. The entire PC CADDIE data directory must be backed up to the main server during the daily back-up. The automatic backup by PC CADDIE secures the data only in a local directory (workstation PC, server, USB or external hard disk).


==== Backup of the workstation installation ====


Every three days, you will be prompted to secure the local Pcc folder on the server when you exit Pcc.This means storing individual data, such as the hardware connection (control receipt printer, card reader, etc.) or even design settings (font sizes, checkout window size,...).

Pcc then copies the local Pcc folder in a folder from the server root directory. If necessary, this backup can be manually triggered or turned off.

Pcc performs a full backup the first time you initiate this process. Starting with the second backup, Pcc only updates the data that has changed since the last backup. Thus, the backup process is  greatly accelerated.

==== Fast backup ====

Every Wednesday morning, Pcc tells you to do a local backup; this means that in the worst case scenario, at least one of the workstations would still have the most important data, which would be a maximum of one week old.\\

==== Complete local copy ====

A [[en:einstellungen:programmeinstellungen:datenbankpfade#Complete backup|]] can also be carried out via Pcc.

===== Backup via external programs =====

Please ensure that the Pcc databases are not used during an external backup. Pcc offers the [[en:einstellungen:programmeinstellungen:reminderautomatischeaktionen|Night blocking]] tool, which allows you to lock the database for a defined period of time.
