Access your KineticD Backup Utility by double-clicking on the icon in the System Tray.
This will open the KineticD Status Viewer window where you can setup the backup options, restore your backup, access reports for your backup and find answers to questions about your backup.
Options in this window are protected with the username/password you created when you setup your account and installed the KineticD Backup Utility.
The first place we will access is the OPTIONS section. Click on the Options button located on the left side of the box. When prompted enter your username/password.
In this manual we will only cover the recommended configuration settings to work with Atlas. There are many options available – please refer to the KineticD online help. Options configured for Atlas may not be the best options for other files you would like to include in backup (versioning, delays, backup times, etc).
It is important to understand the backup process and options to maximize your benefits of using this online backup solution.
SETTINGS: in the Settings tab we configure:
- Number of versions to save (1)
- Minimum Delay Between Versions (no delay)
The remainder of the settings can be configured based on your individual needs and understanding of the options.
FOLDERS: under the Folders tab is where you can select folders/files to be included in the backup.
For Atlas – the minimum to backup is the DATA folder located under the ACS folder.
Additional files/folders in the ACS folder can be included as needed. The options shown in the
example will backup all of the current data (appointments, transactions, insurance, etc) and the
Patient Images/Documents, Patient Sounds (for the calling system) and additional information.
BLOCK OUT: this allows you to delegate times in your day that KineticD will NOT backup data.
We recommend not backing up your data while you are seeing patients.
NOTE: the schedule starts at 0 = 12 midnight and goes to 23 = 11 PM (military time). Our example
shows no backups occurring from 7am to 7pm.
Once the backup is configured, the service will need to be started from the initial window. The backup will commence dependent on the scheduled times and configuration. Your initial backup may take some time, refer to the section ‘Incremental’ below for more details.
