Local clinics and pharmacies handle vital patient records and prescription histories daily. Losing this data due to a sudden hard disk crash or ransomware attack can halt clinic operations and compromise patient care.
A robust backup strategy follows the 3-2-1 rule: keep 3 copies of your data, stored on 2 different media types, with 1 copy located off-site.
For most clinics, AGS recommends configuring an automated daily backup script. The system runs in the background, copying patient databases to a local network-attached storage (NAS) drive, and synchronizing encrypted backups to a secure cloud space overnight. This ensures quick restoration in any emergency.
