Dental Backup and Disaster Recovery Services in Sacramento and across North America
Backups you can trust & recovery plans that work when you need them most
When disaster strikes, your data shouldn’t be the casualty
Ask most dental practices if they have a backup, and the answer is usually yes. But when asked if it’s working properly or if it includes everything, the certainty fades.
Your backup is your safety net after natural disasters such as fire, theft, or flooding — or more commonly, deliberate cyberattacks. Ransomware attacks, in particular, can wipe out vulnerable backups, and hardware failures can erase critical patient data. MME’s dental data backup solutions ensure that even in worst-case scenarios, your practice can recover quickly and efficiently.
We provide comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solutions in Sacramento and beyond to guard your data against every possible threat. With over 20 years of experience, we understand how dental practices operate and ensure no essential data is overlooked.
A multilayered backup strategy is the only strategy
A single backup isn’t enough. MME designs a multilayered backup strategy that helps prevent system failures, cyberthreats, and data loss. Here’s our approach:
The key to seamless recovery effective recovery: Backing up the right data
Many IT providers assume all of a dental practice’s data is stored on the server, but that’s rarely the case. Dental imaging devices, practice management software, and other applications often store critical data in unexpected locations. MME understands dental IT inside and out, ensuring that every patient record, image file, and database is accounted for. We configure built-in backup features correctly to work with your overall recovery plan — because missing even one file could mean major setbacks.
Shadow copies: Undo mistakes in seconds
A built-in feature of Microsoft Windows Server, shadow copies allow for quick recovery of accidentally deleted or modified files. They’re easy to enable and free to use, making them an essential first step in data protection. However, they aren’t foolproof — if your server fails, these backups disappear with it. Worse, many ransomware attacks are designed to wipe them out. While useful, shadow copies should never be your sole backup method.
On-site backup: Fast recovery, right at your practice
On-site backups provide a full-image copy of your server, capturing everything from software configurations to critical data. These scheduled backups allow for rapid recovery in case of failure. However, they share the same risks as your main server; fire, theft, or ransomware can wipe them out. That’s why they are but one layer of a well configured backup and disaster recovery strategy.
Internet cloud backup: The backup of last resort
Cloud backups provide off-site security against cyberattacks and system failures, but recovery from the cloud alone can be slow. That’s why we combine cloud backups with local solutions, ensuring dependable rapid restoration when you need it most. As part of our backup and disaster recovery solutions in Sacramento and across the country, we optimize cloud-based backups for efficiency and security.
Real-time monitoring: A backup is only good if it works
Backups are only effective if they work when you need them. MME proactively monitors and tests your backups to ensure they are current, accessible, and fully functional. Our backup and disaster recovery services in Sacramento and across the country include scheduled tests to verify that every file can be restored, giving you complete confidence in your data protection plan.
