Backing up and Restoring

Backing up to a pen drive or Google Drive, and restoring onto a new computer.

A backup is one file with the whole practice inside it: patients, visits, prescriptions, takings. It is encrypted, and nobody can open it without your recovery passphrase. That includes us.

Taking One

Go to Doctor & chambers → Backup.
Choose to a pen drive or to Google Drive.
When it finishes, the screen says when it ran.

At least once a week, and do not leave the pen drive in the chamber; the fire or the theft that makes you need a backup takes that too.

Restoring Onto a New Computer

Install Nirnoy Rx on the new machine.
On the first screen choose start from a backup.
Point at the file and type your recovery passphrase.
It shows you what is inside; check it and press restore.
Open a ticket with the new Machine ID and a fresh licence key is sent.
