Options (Backup) for Clinical/Pracsoft

Use the Backup Location tab of MedicalDirector Backup Options to change the default settings for the location of your backups and backup configuration files.

  • Temporary Location: Where the backup file is processed and generated before being moved to the Backups Location. The space required to generate the backup file is greater than the resulting file itself. Therefore, if space on your Backups drive is limited, it may be necessary to choose different locations for both the temporary file, and the backup file.
  • Configuration Location: The configuration file saves all your settings for a given backup. Loading it restores all your settings into the wizard.
  • Backups Location: Where the resulting backup file is saved.


Use the Logins tab to check for and repair any invalid logins for the specified server and database. Invalid logins occur as a part of the restore process when a user in the system cannot use the login for a database. This occurs because internal references between the database and server logins no longer match. This will prevent any user from using the database until the invalid login is rectified.



For the repair of invalid logins, Windows Service Pack 3 (SP3) is required for both MSDE and SQL Server.
