Your store data is one of your most valuable assets: customer history, financial records, inventory, supplier details. Lose the POS database to hardware failure, theft, fire or a cyber incident and the business stops.
We have seen this happen – retailers lose months and even years of data. When you want to sell the business, this can be a problem. The bigger problem is the negative impact on business performance analysis – you have no data!
Retailers ask us: is there a reliable way to back up my data without adding work to my day?
Yes. Our Cloud Backup Service runs in the background, automatically.
The old way was manual. Someone had to run a backup at the end of every trading day. That takes 10 to 20 minutes of staff time each evening. Busy staff forget, especially after a long shift. And if the backup lives on a USB stick left in the store, it burns or floods with everything else, unless someone remembers to carry it home every night.
Our service removes all of that. It backs up your data through the day, as transactions occur, with no end-of-day step for your team.
How it works: StorageCraft technology paired with a NAS device on your premises keeps a fast local copy, while an off-site copy is continuously secured in the cloud. Backups are encrypted. Our team monitors the service, so you’re not left hoping it’s working. And if your system crashes or your data is corrupted, we restore your database to a clean state quickly.
Because the backup runs through the day rather than once at close, a failure at 2pm doesn’t cost you a whole day’s trading. You lose minutes of data, not hours, and nothing depends on what a staff member did or didn’t remember last night.
Think about what a restore actually means. Without a current backup, losing your database means rebuilding customer accounts, stock records and sales history from paper and memory. Weeks of work, some of it impossible. With the cloud backup running, the worst day of your business life becomes an inconvenience: we restore, you reopen.
The service costs $55 a month (as at August 2026). Compare that with the 10 to 20 minutes a night the manual routine takes. At even modest wage rates, the automated service costs less than the labour it replaces, and it never forgets, never leaves the USB stick in the drawer, and never takes a night off.
