Rar file for backups?

Post by sandi » Thu Dec 19, 2024 7:33 pm

Why does open dental insist on testing backups , what could go wrong and can one properly test a backup to know its not corrupt other than test restore it and open a couple of patients, is this a proper test?
If winrar is used to rar the mysql folder with recovery record and verify switched on and tested using rars test function on the usb stick or optical disc there should be no reason to suspect a bad backup so no testing needed other than initial ? I have crashplan so its easy to test restore that at home for the mysql folder.
Also how does one print a paper backup for each patient of contact details and procedure codes/dates carried out?
