Backup / Restore

Checkout store backups contain an entire store, including its employees and any imported custom templates, custom store logo and preferences.

Custom reports must be backed up manually. They are located in the

/Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/Checkout/Reports
folder.

Because employee login credentials are dependent on how a Checkout store is loaded into the Checkout database, all employee passwords must be reset when a store backup is restored. Checkout uses a random 6-character database name when creating a store or loading a store backup into its database. This internally-used database name is changed whenever a store backup is restored. Therefore users will need to reselect the store at the login window on all computers after restoring from a backup.
