Dental Backup & Ransomware Recovery
3-2-1 backups, encrypted offsite copies, image-level restores and a tested recovery plan — so a ransomware day stops being an existential threat.
What you get
- ✓3-2-1 backup strategy: local, offsite, immutable
- ✓Encrypted, HIPAA-aligned offsite copies in U.S. data centers
- ✓Daily verification — alerts when a backup didn’t complete cleanly
- ✓Quarterly test restores (yes, actually restoring, not just “checking the logs”)
- ✓Image-level recovery so a dead server is back in hours, not days
- ✓Ransomware response — containment, recovery, and reporting
Most dental backups are broken
We see this constantly: a USB drive labeled “BACKUP” plugged into the server, running a script someone wrote in 2017, that hasn’t completed successfully in eight months. Nobody knew, because nobody was checking.
We replace that with monitored, encrypted, multi-location backups — and prove they work by actually restoring from them.
What our backup setup includes
- Local image-based snapshots for fast restores
- Encrypted offsite replication to a U.S. data center
- Immutable copies that ransomware can’t encrypt or delete
- Daily success/failure alerts to us — not just a buried email to you
- Quarterly verified restore drills
- Documentation for HIPAA SRA evidence
Ransomware: what happens if it hits
Practices get hit every week — usually through a phishing email or an exposed RDP port. We treat ransomware as an operational scenario, not a crisis. Step one is containment, step two is bringing your PMS and imaging back from clean, pre-incident copies, step three is the post-mortem and reporting. The fewer days your chairs sit empty, the better.
