The machine where you run Aloha Manager from is supposed to be the file server. From what I understand this machine is the one that got infected and thus you made Term1 file server while the infected machine was being dis-infected.
And now this terminal is still acting as file server. To verify that this is the case, check if you can view the past few day's sales reports from Aloha Manager. If not, you will need to do the following steps precisely.
1. Open Aloha Manager goto Maintenance -> Store settings. Under Store settings on the dropdown menu goto System.
You should be on the first tab Date/Time, if not goto that tab. Change the Date of Business to the current date. Click Save. A warning should popup, click on yes.
2. Goto Utilities -> Refresh Data
A warning will popup, click on yes.
3. Click on Start(Default bottom left corner of your screen) -> Run
Type %iberdir% and press enter or click OK
You will see a bunch of folders with dates as their names -note the last date- this will probably be the date before you made the terminal file server.
4. Click on Start -> Run again. Type \\Term1 and click OK
In the explorer window that popups you should see a BOOTDRV folder, open that folder and then open the Aloha folder.
So now we should be looking at the contents of the Aloha folder on the terminal. If you see a few dated folders and a BIN, DATA, BMP, etc. folder, but no NEWDATA folder then you are in the correct folder.
The past few days the day-end process has been running on the temporary file server, which is Term1, that is why you see the past few day's dated folders on the terminal, but not on the Back of House machine.
Now we need to copy these dated folders to the BOH machine.
Mark these dated folders by holding down the Ctrl key and left clicking on them untill they are all selected. So now we should have folders 20100324, 20100325, 20100326, 20100327, 20100328 up to the last day that has passed selected. Easiest is to just drag this group of folders across into an empty space in the Aloha folder of the BOH machine( the first Explorer window we opened ). Be sure to not drop it onto another folder. Be sure to copy them and not move them as it is safest to always keep a backup.
As these files are copied across Aloha will attempt to grind them and a warning might popup telling you to do a database upgrade, ignore this for now. Once all the folders have finished copying across acknowledge the warning.
Aloha will now grind these folders, let the grind processes complete.
5. Almost there. Close the explorer window that points to the Aloha folder on Term1. Open the DATA folder in the Aloha folder on the BOH machine. Click on View at the top of the explorer window and Arrange icons by type. Scroll up or down untill you locate Trans.log, Mirror.log, PRNxx.log, etc. You might not see the .log extension depending on your Folder Options settings, but they should all be at the start or end of the list and have text document icons. Delete these .log files, don't permanently delete them rather move them to the Recycling bin, just to be safe.
Close this window.
6. Final step: In Aloha Manager goto Utilities -> Fileserever Recovery, you might need to do this 2 or 3 times. Go look on the FOH terminals whether the master now only says MASTER instead of MASTER(Server:TERM1) and that the Date of business is correct. Also verify that your sales reports since you made the terminal fileserver are correct and that todays sales report Back of House is correct.
If you have Day-ends running that means someone must have Forced day-ends and you'll have to copy the trans.log from today's dated folder BOH to the DATA folder BOH and set the DOB back to todays date and re-open closed checks and rename the dated folders, but rather post a reply if this is the case.
I hope this helped you.
