Local Backups, Auto-Save & Data Export

Because Cubix Lite POS is an offline-first terminal, your business data resides locally in browser IndexedDB. To ensure 100% data safety, multiple backup layers are built into the system.

1. Automated Hourly Snapshots

• When enabled, Cubix POS automatically creates compressed .cub.gz backup snapshots at periodic intervals or on shift close.
• Old snapshots are retained locally according to your retention policy (e.g. keep last 10 snapshots).

2. Manual Backup & Download

1. Go to About > Backups & Data.
2. Click Download Backup (.cub.gz) to save a timestamped encrypted copy to your computer or USB drive.
3. This backup contains the full database: companies, catalog items, customers, orders, shifts, and stock ledger.

3. Restoring on a New Terminal

To migrate or restore your data on a new computer or tablet:

1. Open Cubix POS on the new device.
2. Open Backups & Data > Restore from File.
3. Select your .cub.gz backup file and confirm.
4. Your complete POS state is restored in seconds!
