2.9 Backup copies
Such a copy is also called a backup. It should not be confused with the export
of data. There are various backup strategies.
There are various options:
▪ Full backup (backup of all data on the hard disk)
▪ Incremental backup (backup only of data that has been changed since the
previous backup)
Full data backups are more time-consuming and require significantly more
memory since the copied amounts of data are much larger than in incremental
backups. Combinations of full and incremental backups are possible as well to
suit the security requirements of the office.
A hard disk failure can also occur during a backup.
KaVo recommends to never overwrite the current backup copy.
The computer technician/system administrator of your practice is familiar with
the current technology for backup copies and making backups.
Backup copies must be stored in a safe place protected from access of third
parties. The detailed procedure should be defined in a data protection concept.
