Before you proceed with the upgrade process, it is recommended that you backup the database of your TCMS V2 to save a copy of all the data.       To backup database of TCMS V2:   i. Perform a data download from all terminals. ii. Disconnect all terminals from the TCMS V2 (remove the LAN cables of terminals; ignore this step if you are using a USB flash disk to transfer data). iii. Select Backup/Restore database > Backup database iv. Save and keep the ZIP file       The database file carries all user information, attendance records and terminal information. In case of an upgrade failure, this file will allow you to retrieve your old data.
