What is a good backup strategy? Backup and verify, Backup and Verify, Offsite and on site, offsite and on site!! That is a great backup strategy! However, there are other factors. We need to consider the types of data you are backing up and how important each piece is. Categorize your data in to 4 areas. This will help you break down your strategy and manage a good backup routine.
The categories should be Mission Critical, Critical, Non-critical and personal. After you have done that, you can decide your level of protection for each. Do you want total site protection for each category, or are you happy with just having a backup of some sort. Meaning, if your building burns down and your one and only copy of that data goes with it, you are still ok sleeping at night. This sounds extreme but honestly, this is what has to be done to understand the importance. You can say it will never happen to you, but it could and are you willing to take that chance?
Need help deciding what fits where and what protection is available, just give us a call.

A File/Data Backup is a simple copy of some/all of the data/document files on the computer. The File/Data Backup can be used to restore individual files or all files from specific folders. If a computer needs to be reloaded from scratch, this data backup is a critical piece of the restoration process but will be the last step in the rebuild of the computer. We will still need to load all of the software programs from scratch including licensing details which are often very labor intensive and may not be possible.
An Image Backup is more comprehensive than a File Backup, but also requires more software, setup, and management. The Image Backup will produce an exact duplicate copy of all data/documents and programs that are currently running on the computer. If a computer needs to be reloaded from scratch, no initial preparation would be required. We would simply restore the Image Backup and reboot.
A growing number of veterinary practices are now looking at the speed of recovery as a critical part of their backup strategy. This option is critical for those computers that you cannot afford a long rebuild process and/or those that would be difficult to reassemble from the original software.
Historically, backups have been configured and performed onsite. By using an available high-speed Internet connection, any business can now reliably use an Offsite backup service.
The Offsite options though reliable should be a fail-safe option behind an active onsite backup. However, in some cases an Offsite backup may be the only practical option.
Some of the benefits of an Offsite Backup:
- No need to take home a backup tape
- Automatically create month-end and year-end backup
- Backup to the onsite backup
- Protects against data loss caused by a disaster
- Staff that use laptops and are often not at the practice
