Data restoration from tape (Windows)

This chapter describes the restoration of backed-up data from a tape in Windows operating systems. For help on how to backup data go to Data Backup.

A detailed description of a data restoration can be found in your Windows operating system and Streamer documentations.

Restore the backed-up data as follows:

1. Insert the tape with the backed-up data into the streamer of your computer.
2. Click on the Start button in the taskbar  of your Windows operating systems computer.
3. Select Programs from the opened window. Another window will open.
4. Select Streamer Backup. By this, you open the screen page with the streamer backup menu.
5. Make sure (via Window) that you selected Streamer Tapes. The data backups stored on the tape will be displayed. Select the data you want to copy back to the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application. You can restore the whole data backup, single directories or even single files.
6. Another window with the title Restoration Information will open. Here you can define where the data are to be copied (old/new location on your hard disk). Click on OK after making all entries.
7. The data restoration will be started. The currently processed files will be displayed in the window Restoration Status.
8. If the data restoration has been successful, the message "The procedure has been successfully completed" will appear.
9. Click on OK, the data restoration is now complete. Take out the tape (Functions -> Eject Tape).

Notes:

• If a new program / release has been deployed between the data backup and the restoration the data has to be converted. This is to be carried out by signing on as oscar and entering oscar convert in the directory /usr/oscar/osc<Date>/work.srv.
• All UNIX commands are case-sensitive.
• <Date> in a directory name stands for the release date of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS software (e. g. osc020597).
