Checkout Server is a free add-on for Checkout. It lets you connect up to 40 Macs, schedule backups and much more.

Warning Please Note Checkout Server is currently not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. An update that works on Snow Leopard will be available soon.

RestartSet It and Forget It

After you install Checkout Server, it starts up automatically every time you restart your Mac, so simply set it and forget it. And if you do want to change anything, Checkout Server ships with both a powerful command-line tool and a user-friendly System Preferences pane.

SecurityImproved Security

Want to protect your valuable store data against theft? The best way to do that is to set up Checkout Server on a seperate Mac and put that computer in a safe spot. Under the hood, a whole load of additional safety measures are taken by Checkout Server to make sure nobody can get their hands on your store database. Everytime you restart Checkout Server, privileges to critical files are restored to the most secure level to offer the best no-frills security imaginable.

SpeedBetter Performance

Checkout Server optimizes your system settings to free up more memory for each connected Mac, boosting performance significantly. Additionally, by running Checkout Server on a dedicated machine, virtually all system resources are freed up to host your store database to other computers as effectively as possible.

BackupScheduled Backups

Keep forgetting to make backups? Use Checkout Server's simple backup scheduling interface to plan them as often as you want. Backups can be made even while store employees are logged in and are saved in a compressed format, so there's no need to hold back.

NetworkMore Simultaneous Connections

Checkout Server allows up to 40 computers to be connected at the same time. No matter how fast your business grows, Checkout Server is ready to keep everything running smoothly.

Overview

How it WorksHow it Works

After you install Checkout Server on a dedicated computer and walk through the initial setup steps, use Checkout's Store Administration interface to export a backup of your store database. After you import your backup into Checkout Server, you're good to go. Your store is automatically detected from the Login window on each Checkout client on the same network and any user with a valid username and password can login. You can setup a backup schedule using the “Checkout Server” System Preferences pane. Use the System Preferences pane or if you prefer, the “checkoutdb” command-line tool to administer the server.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.5+ or OS X Server 10.5+ and at least 512MB of RAM. Intel-based Mac and 1GB of RAM recommended.
