Page 7: System Integrity & Backups
ATR9800 User Guide System Integrity & Backups Overview Systems integrity and data backups cannot be stressed enough. Should you experience a hard disk crash, you will be very glad you maintained proper system backups. Without a backup, restoring data to the hard disk is difficult, often impossible, and very expensive. In short, keeping frequent system backups of not just the ATR9800 system, but of all programs and data on your PC will protect you should disaster strike. -

- Page 32 ATR9800 User Guide Round Back: This is used to round punches outside the shift stop time back to the shift stop. This is separate from Round OUT Every. For example the shift stops at 16:00 and employees clock out as late as 16:20 because of clean up. Setting the round back in to 30 minutes will round any OUT punches that occur between 16:00 and 16:30 back to 16:00 so that time is not accrued as overtime.
