Image backups allow for faster restoration of all information – reducing downtime and saving money. As opposed to file level backups, these comprehensive backups offer a more well-rounded solution for dental practices.

Image level backups are most effective in the event of a total disaster such as theft, destruction of property or hard drive failure since they allow you to restore the exact system state, including OS and software applications with the correct version used by your practice, to an entirely new device. For example, if there were a server crash, you just need another server and all of your files and data can be pushed into the new hardware within a relatively short amount of time. In the meantime, you can access a virtualization of your data in the cloud, allowing you to view patient info, financials and schedules while you are down.
