Use »Upload» to start transferring the database onto your FTP-server

5.7 – Send database to Cashy-Backup application
This function links the Cashy-POS app with Cashy-Backup app and allows you to send the database of Cashy-POS containing all settings, sales and products directly onto another device (NO cloud data storage !).

Tapping the button, Cashy-POS starts searching for an active instance of Cashy-Backup running onto another device in the same network. Please make sure that you activated the function «Receive database» in Cashy-Backup in order to become discoverable by Cashy-POS.

Cashy-Backup is available for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. The iOS version 5.1.1 or higher is requested.

In the upcoming pop-up window, choose now the device where to send your database and enter the code shown on Cashy-Backup app (pairing).

After the transfer is done, a success message will inform you about the status. On Cashy-Backup you may check the transfer using the button Show received database. You will see there the list of all backup files received. Tap and hold onto any of these databases to rename or delete it.
