Backup & Restore
Manual Backup and Restore Configuration (Data)
It is recommended that regular backups of the database are made. Backup files should be stored on digital media such as flash drives or CDs and preferably kept in a secure place. Because the backup files can contain sensitive information they should be protected from unauthorized access.

Devices
Virtual Devices allows admin users to create virtual IO points. These IO points are not tied to physical devices but can be used as logical flags (e.g., Set / Reset) for Port Trigger Action operations. This device type is also used to work with custom applications.
To add a Virtual Device:
Go to System->Devices
At the bottom, click the submenu button and click “Add Virtual Device”
...
In the next page. A unique Device ID will be populated automatically. Please do not alter this ID unless it is used by customer applications. Enter the name of the virtual device and click “Save”:
A virtual device has 1 virtual reader, 2 inputs, and 4 outputs. They can be added to a controlled area as if it were a regular bridge/EG-2 device. Such a setup can be used by custom applications.
A virtual device output can be used by Port Triggered Action as a flag to trigger other actions:
In the above example, when Front Door Relay 1 is activated, the port trigger action will set “My Virtual Device” output 1 to the “Set/On” state. This new state can be used by other port-triggered actions to take further actions.
