Down Load Instructions:

First complete all the registration information and follow the steps to download the software:

      1. Download the Contract, complete and fax to 480-212-1935 

2.    Download the software directly onto your server (by using the internet explorer on the actual file server computer CPU and screen), and loading the software onto the drive where the data to be backed up is present. While this drive is sometimes called the “D” drive from the network workstations, it might have a different letter on the actual file server computer, sometimes the “C” or “H” drive.

3. Download the software to a workstation on the network, choosing the “Full System/Network” plan. Include the mapped network drive or drives (sometimes called “F”, while the workstation drive is sometimes “C”) which contain your data when selecting which files to back up. The advantages of this method are that your daily backup reports will appear on the workstation each day, and that you have a “Full System” backup on the workstation and a “Data Only” plan on the server. In essence you are backing up two computers. If you do not have internet access on your server, or if your priority is to backup a workstations programs, this is a better choice.  

PLEASE NOTE: If your office or home network is using a non-Windows operating system such as Novell, you cannot use Data-Insure. Also, if your network is running large multi-user programs such as Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange, Oracle or SQL, you cannot use Data-Insure to backup your network. Please e-mail us at support@scottsdalemedicaltechnologies.com for solutions for these networks.

How do you know if a backup set is valid?

We all run backups, but often we are not really sure whether the backup actually "worked" or not. Many feel they can never know until they have a complete disaster, and only then will they find out.

There are a few key things one can do to test a backup even after it is made. Here are three tips to ensure your backups are fully functional:

1. Run a Verify procedure after the Backup

It is important that you run a verify of the backup. Most good backup software allows you to simply check a box to run the verify immediately and automatically after backup. Verify compares the bytes in the backup with those on your hard drive, making sure they are exactly the same.

2. Check the Log Files

Any error messages? How about details and totals? Is that about the right number of files and bytes (or Megabytes as the case may be). Do a reality check.

3. Restore Some Files

That's right, actually try to restore something. Select a couple of files, in different sections (folders) of your hard drive. Select non-system files (simple documents, pictures or something like that). Restore these to a different temporary or test directory. Open them up and check to make sure they are OK.

You hope the day never comes when you have to  rely on a backup set, but if you do those three things, you can be sure you have a backup you can count on!
