KB0163: Save a Backup of your Time Clock Data – TotalPass

Solution:

It is important to make a backup (copy) of your employee time clock data periodically. Use this backup to restore your data in case of any data loss. We recommend creating a backup of your time clock data each pay period and prior to performing any updates to your time clock.

 Create a Backup through the Web Interface

1. To create a backup file, select Files | Create Backup.
2. Click Create Backup Now.
3. The file will download.

Note: the file cannot be opened by your computer. It must be restored back into the time clock to open. 

Create a Backup to a USB Flash Drive at the Clock

Creating a backup of your data can be simplified even further by saving your backup to a USB flash drive. A flash drive is a portable device that you can purchase at any computer store. Follow the directions below to create a backup of your time clock data using a USB flash drive.
