Setup of the DAT Streamer HP C 1534 A SCSI
MICROS Retail Deutschland GmbH Model 42.1001- 0084

After a successful installation of the hardware and software, a data backup on the operating system or operator level is possible. A restoration is only possible on the operating system level.

It is possible to backup single files or directories or whole directory trees but, however, a complete backup of the operating system including all user configurations is impossible.

If a complete new installation is necessary after a hard drive defect, for example, the operating system including all MICROS Retail OSCAR POS drivers and application programs has to be installed again. Then you can restore the backed-up user data.

If two or more SCSI devices are present the termination can take place in one of these devices. Please adhere to the general rules for the connection of SCSI devices.

A check of the streamer function can be carried out on the operating system level in the backup menu.
