Backup and Restore with the Backup and Restore Utilities

Use Clinical's Backup utility to backup your practice's data.

All backups using the MedicalDirector Backup utility must be performed on the server computer.

MedicalDirector only supports backups made using the MedicalDirector Backup utility. If you use a backup program supplied by another provider, the restoration and subsequent correct functioning of your data is solely your responsibility.

The MedicalDirector Backup and Restore utilities backup and restore Clinical and Clinical. Bluechip also uses these utilities, but the instructions are slightly different.

These modules provide options for backing up your data to any device that can be referenced by a logical drive letter, (for example, C:\), including:

  • Hard drives
  • Floppy drives
  • ZIP
  • JAZ
  • USB drives
  • CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives if the drive manufacturers direct-write software (e.g. Nero, InCD, Roxio, DirectCD) is installed and the device is mapped to a logical drive letter.

The utility also offers the convenience of industry-standard ZIP format.

Arange of options are available for customising the backup to suit your requirements. Feedback on the progress of applications is provided to the user during the backup process.
