JULY 26, 2023 | Advisory: Importance of Backing Up Bizbox Database and Reports

Dear Bizbox HIS, EHR, QMeUp and HRP Users,

We would like to emphasize the critical importance of having a backup copy of your Bizbox Database and Reports. This practice ensures that you can restore all your data from an earlier point in time in case of an unforeseen event.

Data failures can happen due to various reasons, such as hardware or software failures, data corruption, or human-caused incidents, like malicious attacks or accidental data deletions.

To establish a successful data backup system, it is essential to store your data on an offsite server or a separate drive. This can range from using simple solutions like USB flash drives and external hard drives to more robust options like disk storage systems, cloud storage containers, and Network Attached Storage (NAS). 

To adhere to the best data backup practices, we recommend following the "3-2-1" backup rule:

1. Three Copies: Maintain at least three copies of your data to ensure redundancy and avoid a single point of failure.
2. Two Different Media: Store your copies on at least two different types of media to protect against media-specific issues.
3. One Offsite Copy: Keep at least one copy of your data offsite to safeguard against physical damage or disasters at your primary location.

By adhering to the "3-2-1" backup rule, you significantly enhance the reliability and recoverability of your data in case of any unforeseen incidents. For more detailed information on implementing a successful data backup strategy, please refer to the image provided.

Remember, safeguarding your data through regular backups is crucial in safeguarding your operations against potential data loss and facilitating a swift recovery from any unexpected incidents. If you have any questions or need further assistance regarding data backup best practices, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we appreciate your commitment to data protection.
