Backup & Restore¶
Your data is automatically backed up via the DiKAS cloud — encrypted and stored off-site. You don't need to back up anything manually, download anything, or manage backup files.
Automatic, in the Background
The backup runs continuously in the background. As long as your POS is connected to the DiKAS cloud, your data is protected — with no action required from you.

Restore¶
Restoring your data is not a special case and not a support matter — it happens automatically:
- Reinstall DiKAS (app or server)
- Enter your license number
- Done — your data is loaded automatically from the cloud
This applies after a hardware failure just as much as after a device replacement or a fresh installation. You need no backup file, no manual restore, and no support — the new installation registers with your license and syncs itself with the cloud.
Where do I find my license number?
You can view your license number at any time in the customer portal under "Meine Lizenz & Geräte" (My license & devices). With this number, your master data, settings, and receipts are automatically back after a reinstall.
