FingerTec’s TA100C and AC100C (FMM100) Devices Come With Data Backup Feature

With the new FMM100 core board comes a few useful new features in TA100C and AC100C. One of the features in FMM100 core board is to allow users to backup the device’s data and configuration in the device itself. This backed up data can be restored in the future or it can be copied to another device of the same model whenever needed.

          

This new feature eliminates the worry of data lost or corrupted after being transferred to the software. Take advantage of this feature to better use of the system.

There are two types of backup available in these models.

1.      Internal backup allows you to create backup to be saved inside the terminal itself.

2.      USB backup allows you to create backup and save it inside the USB to be downloaded on another location without deleting the data inside the terminal.

To back up data internally, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Backup Data > Backup to Device > Start Backup

To restore the internal backup data, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Restore Data > Restore from Device > Start Restore

To back up data into a USB flash disk, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Backup Data > Backup to USB Disk > Start Backup

To restore the backup file from a USB flash disk, follow these steps:

Menu > Data Management > Restore Data > Restore from USB Disk > Start Restore

** NOTE: If you backed up the data into a USB flash disk, it is recommended that you restore the data immediately to determine the usability of the data. If the restoration fails, you need to repeat the backup process.
