Backups and restore
← Back to trust centreA practical page for explaining how data protection should include backup and recovery planning, not just live application security.
Why this matters
A clinic platform needs a recovery story, not just a production story.
Backups, restore testing, and recovery expectations are part of operational trust for clinics handling patient and booking data.
Database hosting choices such as Azure Database for PostgreSQL should be paired with clear restore expectations and internal procedures.
What to document next
How often backups are expected to run or be retained
Who can initiate a restore process
How restores are tested before being relied on in a real incident
Whether file and media recovery differ from database recovery
Important positioning note
Do not claim a specific recovery time or backup guarantee unless it is actually monitored and operationally proven.
