Why Backup Failures Could Put Your Practice at Risk

Imagine this: you’re running a busy veterinary practice, and your patient records, schedules, and billing info are suddenly lost due to a technical glitch or a cyberattack. It’s like losing your client files, lab results, and treatment notes—all the data that keeps your practice running smoothly. That’s why backup tools are essential; they’re supposed to create secure copies of your data so that, in an emergency, you can quickly restore everything and get back to business as usual. But what if those backups fail?

Here’s the surprising part: around one-third of all data loss in businesses happens because backup systems fail. Many veterinary practices assume that just having a backup tool in place guarantees data safety. But when it’s time to recover lost files, they may find out the hard way that their backup files are corrupted or incomplete.

And then there’s the growing threat of ransomware. Imagine if a cybercriminal took control of your files, locking down medical records and client data until you pay a hefty ransom. Even with backup systems, some practices end up paying because recovery can be time-consuming, especially if the backups haven’t been properly maintained. And unfortunately, paying the ransom doesn’t always guarantee you’ll get all your data back.

So why do backup systems fail when they’re needed most?

It’s often due to poor setup or lack of regular monitoring. Like any good medical equipment in your clinic, backup systems need ongoing maintenance and checks. Outdated systems can struggle to handle new cyber threats, leaving gaps that cybercriminals can exploit.
