Disk Image Backup and Recovery Tool

Introduction

This section 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:
