Backups

MacPractice recommends daily backups to ensure you can recover from a hardware failure with minimal loss.
Backup size varies depending on usage, especially when storing high-quality images in the database.
You should consider not only your current database storage needs, but also your potential future data growth when purchasing all storage media, including internal and external storage media.
An external hard drive is recommended for hard drive storage, as well as multiple redundancies such as cloud storage.

Detailed Backup Guidance and Recommendations can be found on our HelpDesk.
