Totalcare (frontdesk) and Locum.(clinical) It's Totalcare that needs Gupta SQL

Hi Michael,

What clinical application are you running?

The main reason we haven't installed a backup spare server is the cost
of the SQL licence in our case Gupta SQL. The licence costs a couple of
thousand dollars in itself. This is in addition to the hardware, and
installation etc etc.

and having a spare machine is a good idea as a backup in itself - had
more than one occasion when a computer fries itself - swapped it out
for the backup machine in a few minutes and then had time to repair it
at leisure.  Not only the database needs a backup but consider the
hardware as well.

An addendum to my last post.
For most GP's the cost of buying a standalone PC to test backups is
not that
great.  Buying one will last many years as all it will have on is an OS,
your medical software.  Nothing else.

I really don't want to think about the security and privacy hazards
associated with restoring a database chock full of highly confidential,
fully identified patient medical data onto a teenager's home PC... Or
any
home PC, for that matter, given that the degree of physical,
anti-virus/anti-trojan and firewall protection afforded to home PCs
rarely
meets the standard required for general practice computer networks.

Does anyone else see a problem with what Cedric is suggesting?
