Hello Jason,
I am assuming you are asking about TWGM backup server setup. The backup server is not a fully functional application. It is mainly used for plu lookup until the primary server is restored. To answer your questions:
1. How can I have files trickle from the backup server?
Yes, files can trickle from the backup server to RA. In the POS.ini please include the following flag ALLOWREALTIMETRICKLEFROMBS
2. Do returns work from the backup server?
No, returns are not available from the backup server.
3. Can the store close on the backup server?
No, The store will not be able to close on the backup server
4. Can i update plu files if i am on backup?
Yes, plu updates will work on the backup server but are not recommended
Regards,
