The POS computer died. Is our data gone?

No, provided backups were running. Contact us with the situation before you buy or reinstall anything — the recovery route depends on how your system was set up, and the wrong first move can make it harder.

The most common preventable loss is not the hardware failure itself, but someone reinstalling or reformatting in a hurry before anyone looked at the disk. If the machine is dead, stop and ask first.

Two habits worth having before you need them: know where your backup goes and confirm you can actually open one. A backup nobody has ever restored is a hope, not a backup. Check this on a quiet day, not on the day the machine dies.

Since you will likely buy a replacement computer locally, this is also the moment the earlier advice pays off — separate components rather than an all-in-one, because you only have to replace the part that failed.

This sits in the POS. Licensing is covered on pricing, and the rest of the questions are in Answers.
