If POSServer Fails

In the event that the POSServer or the PC hosting POSServer fails with no chance of an easy recovery, it is possible to restore a POSServer Database Backup to another terminal.

The details that are contained within the backup will be determined by the settings that are used in the POSServer Configuration Backup menu.
