1. How it works / automatic backups

The backup dialog is opened via Settings Backups. It shows all existing backups. Three automatically created backups can be restored with CashCtrl FREE, 7 backups with CashCtrl PRO and 14 backups with ENTERPRISE.

Backups are created once a day if there has been work on the accounting.

CashCtrl PRO / Enterprise customers can also create their own backups at any time. This offers more freedom to try out and secure work steps.

2. Creating manual backups

The process is relatively simple. A new backup can be created via Add. The backup can be given its own name. CashCtrl then creates the backup and makes it available.

Backups cannot be downloaded for local storage. For additional security, they are physically stored at a different server location to where the software is running.

Notes for other users can be entered in the notes field, for example.

3. Restoring backups

To restore a backup, select one and confirm with Restore . CashCtrl asks twice to be on the safe side, as the changes from the current day cannot be restored. It is therefore advisable to make a manual backup of the status quo before restoring (PRO feature).

After confirmation, the backup is restored after a short moment.

4. Good to know / Storage and quantity

  • Storage space for automatic backups is not charged.
  • CashCtrl shows how much storage space each backup takes up.
  • How many manual backups can be created depends on how much storage space is available.
  • CashCtrl PRO offers 1 GB of memory included. An additional 10 GB of storage space can be purchased.
