Backup Recommendation

Backup Recommendation

HOW MUCH IS YOUR DATA WORTH? Your Customer Care Team cannot stress enough the importance of performing daily backups. Many businesses fail to appreciate the importance of backing up vital data on a daily basis until it is too late. Valuable equipment is usually insured against fire, theft or other disasters. A current backup is the only insurance policy on your patient data. HIPAA Security Regulations dictates specific details as to how the electronic information used by the healthcare industry should be stored, transferred, and used to ensure the privacy of individually identifiable data related to a patient’s healthcare. Your backup is your first defense against the loss of patient data.

	A FULL backup of Compulink's Advantage folder (i.e. EYEMD, EYECARE) must be performed daily. Differential or incremental backup methods cannot be restored successfully and will lead to loss of data.
	CHECK THE BACKUP LOG OFTEN TO MAKE SURE YOUR DAILY BACKUP IS RUNNING ERROR FREE.
	IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE ADVANTAGE SOFTWARE IS NOT RUNNING WHILE THE BACKUP IS BEING PERFORMED.
	Hard Drive Redundancy (RAID 5) on the file server is recommended.
	Copy the data to a secure local workstation's hard drive daily. (Optional)

Note: Do not use XCOPY command to make an online backup while Advantage Software is in use.
