Chapter 6:
Disk Image Backup and Recovery
Tool
Introduction
This chapter discusses procedures on how to backup or recover the POS image. The
terminal has a recovery tool that performs a complete backup of the whole HDD/SSD.
This includes the operating system, all files, data and the database itself if it is installed
on the HDD/SSD, making an exact duplicate of everything contained on the terminal.
The Recovery Tool uses the Windows Image (.WIM) file format to store the OS image.
This is a file-based format for use with the ImageX and DISM tools that Microsoft
created for use with Windows Vista and later OS versions. The format can also be used
to capture and restore XP-based OS images. More information on the ImageX tool and
.WIM format can be found at:

The Recovery Tool is designed to create a complete backup of, or restore, a previously
saved image to the terminal.
The Recovery Tool offers the following functions and features:
• Multi-language support for the following languages: EN; DE; FR; IT; ES.
• Check and Repair Disk
• Backup the System
• Restore the System to a previous state
• Password Protection
• Network support
You can save and restore your backup from different locations:
• Network
• USB Drive
• Hard Drive/Solid State Device (if present on the terminal)
