Local or Cloud database

TimeWriter works with both a local or cloud database. An explanation of how this works follows below.

Local database

• The local database is located on your own computer or within the same network. This is a trusted internal location and is typically not accessible from outside of the local network.
• It is only possible to work with the desktop client.
• Optimal performance. Speed of reading and writing from the database does not depend on an internet connection.

Cloud database

• The cloud database is located on an internet server (http://freecloud.timewriter.nl/ (opens in a new tab)).
• It is possible to work with the desktop client.
• Creating and modifying bookings and viewing of reports can be done via a Web browser.
• Regular backups will be run on the server.
• Speed of reading and writing from the database is dependent on an internet connection.
