Eaglesoft holds your charts, schedule, and imaging. Backing it up properly means consistent, immutable, off-site copies — not a drive that lives next to the server.
Updated
What you need to protect
Protect the Eaglesoft database and the imaging linked to it as a single, consistent unit. A
restore that brings back records but not images — or vice versa — leaves the practice unable to
operate.
The standard to hold
Off-site: a copy away from the practice survives fire, theft, and flood.
Immutable: write-once copies survive ransomware that targets backups.
Tested: proven restores, not assumptions.
Key takeaways
Back up the Eaglesoft database and imaging together, consistently.
Local/built-in backups are exposed to ransomware and single-point failure.
Immutable, off-site copies plus tested recovery are the bar.
Eaglesoft data is PHI — your backup vendor should sign a HIPAA BAA.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Eaglesoft?
Back up the Eaglesoft database and its imaging with scheduled, application-consistent backups stored off-site and immutably. DDSArk runs an agent on the Eaglesoft server that captures recovery points and ships them encrypted to immutable cloud storage. Exact steps: install the DDSArk agent on the Eaglesoft server, select the database and imaging folders, and set a schedule — DDSArk captures application-consistent recovery points, encrypts them, and replicates them off-site to immutable storage.
Does Eaglesoft back up imaging too?
Imaging is often stored alongside or linked to the Eaglesoft database and must be protected together so a restore brings back both records and images. Confirm your imaging configuration: Eaglesoft imaging sits alongside the database and can be large, so DDSArk backs up the database and imaging store together — a restore returns both records and images.
Is the built-in Eaglesoft backup enough?
A built-in or local backup that stays on the practice network is exposed to ransomware and to any single hardware failure. Add immutable, off-site copies and test that they restore.
