Backup Your Database

Scan and Pin uses a local database for storing encrypted data. You should schedule a routine to backup this data regularly.

To begin, you can choose to backup the entire installation folder or just the database folder. 
These are stored in c:\program files\scan and pin (or your install path).

Copy the entire contents to a ZIP file or USB / Network drive and date the folder. The copy should be on a different physical medium than the original, for example a different hard disk or computer.

Ensuring you backup your data will make it simple to re-install should the worst happen.

Scan and Pin fingerprint software has been designed for fast fingerprint authentication on Microsoft Windows platforms using Digital Persona fingerprint scanners. Authentication of a user or customer can now be made by scanning their finger on a fingerprint reader instead of swiping magnetic cards, scanning barcodes on ID cards or being entered manually. Biometric Membership is now a reality and can be used in addition to your normal membership system.
