2 Backup & Disaster Recovery You ve worked years to build your practice so why would you gamble your entire dental office by not having a backup and disaster recovery plan? Every single day there is a new opportunity for your system to fail, a spill to ruin a computer and all of its data, or even for a fire to wipe out your practice. Why would you risk your entire business, when all you need is a disaster recovery plan? You re smarter than that. At Pact-One, we ve seen system failures happen to dentists with a recovery plan and without a

3 recovery plan which one do you think bounced back faster? Pact-One s backup and disaster recovery gives you both a plan and a solution for anything that might interrupt your dental office s workflow. Don t let you yourself, your practice, your employees and your patients suffer because you weren t prepared. You Have Data Backup Options There are many options for your practice when it comes to backing up your data. You can even go old school and use a tape, although that option is probably not the best option for your dental practice. More practical options are backing up your data to an offsite location, mirroring data to another server, backing up to a NAS device, or backing up to an external hard drive. All of those options will work for your practice, but you don t need a backup option that just works, you need the option that is most reliable and offers you the fastest way to get your data back. The best option to backup your data is to have an onsite and offsite location where your data is hosted, such as a NAS system that takes a picture of your entire system

4 every fifteen minutes and saves the images, while you also have your data backed up to the cloud, or even multiple clouds. Continuous Backup is Crucial Your practice s data should be backed up continuously. Once a day is just not enough every single day you see patients, you have constant new data and information flowing into your system, so if you back up your system once a day and your system crashes, you ve lost that entire day s worth of data. With continuous backup, your data is backed up every 15 minutes, so if your dental practice s server goes down, you suffer 15 minutes of downtime as opposed to an entire day. Money

5 simply cannot buy you your data back, the only way to ensure that you keep your data is to have a disaster recovery plan and solution that involves continuously backing up your data. Instant Recovery Just backing up your data is not enough you have to be able to recover that data quickly in order to minimize downtime and continue seeing patients. It could take 2 weeks, a month or even longer to get all of your data back just take a second to think about all of the downtime you would suffer if you couldn t work during that time. With instant recovery you have your data back instantly so that you don t lose valuable work hours waiting

6 for your server to function again. We create a virtual environment in which your dental office can continue to work and treat patients. Test Your Plan Your recovery plan needs to be tested, otherwise how do you know it actually works? Test your recovery plan regularly to ensure that in the event of a server down, system failure or the simple drop of a laptop, that your recovery plan will work when needed. You also need to make sure that your data is being backed up properly at your offsite location, that way if you have a physical disaster at your practice, you still have your data. You Need Both a Plan and a Solution So you have your data backed up onsite and offsite and you have a disaster recovery system, but do your employees have a plan when disaster happens? Just because you have your data backed up to the Cloud, doesn t mean that your employees know how to access the data. Your employees need a plan for how to continue working after disaster strikes to ensure that your dental office is back up and running productively.
