In this case, Suprema agents may ask you to share your BioStar 2 log, T&A Log, and backup database to review your issue.

  • BioStar 2 log: C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64)\logs
  • T&A log: C:\Program Files\BioStar 2(x64)\ta\logs


After we review your logs and database, we may inform you that your database became wrong and cannot recover all of your database correctly.
