Healthcare data backup and recovery
for complex clinical environments
Zmanda pro protects every server, virtual machine, database, and endpoint across your healthcare infrastructure.
From core EHR systems to remote clinical sites, with a platform your IT team can deploy, manage, and trust.
What makes data backup and recovery in healthcare different
Healthcare IT environments are among the most workload-diverse in any sector — EHR systems, PACS servers, clinical databases, virtualized applications, remote clinic endpoints, and NAS storage, often across multiple locations, managed by a small team with strict up-time requirements. 3 things separating healthcare data backup from generic enterprise backup:
Single console coverage for all types of workloads
A healthcare environment can span Windows file servers, Oracle databases, VMware clusters, medical imaging NAS, and endpoint devices — sometimes across dozens of sites. Coverage gaps anywhere become a recovery problem everywhere. Generic tools protect most workloads. Healthcare demands all of them.
Recovery precision, not just recovery speed
In clinical environments, restoring the right data to the right state matters as much as restoring it quickly. Granular, point-in-time recovery for databases and file-level recovery from virtual machines is what separates a managed incident from an operational disruption.
Healthcare data must be HIPAA compliant
Modern ransomware is designed to compromise backup systems before attacking production. Healthcare infrastructure is a documented priority target. Immutable backup copies must be enforced at the storage level — copies that not even administrators can modify or delete — are no longer optional.
How Zmanda Pro ensures protection for healthcare data
Here's what Zmanda Pro offers for data backup and recovery in healthcare environments
Ransomware protection with immutable backups
Zmanda Pro supports Object Lock on AWS S3 and Wasabi. In immutable mode, backup data cannot be modified, encrypted, or deleted until the configured retention period expires — including by users with administrator credentials. Even if ransomware compromises your production environment and your backup server credentials, your recovery points remain intact and fully restorable. Snapshot protection prevents deletion of backup snapshots at the policy level.
30+ workload types. File-level granularity.
Windows and Linux servers, VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, MS SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft 365, and endpoint devices — all covered from a single management console. No separate tools, no coverage gaps. Restore individual files from a VM without recovering the entire machine. Recover a single database to the exact transaction you need. Coverage that matches what healthcare IT actually looks like.
Forever-incremental architecture with sub-1-hour RPO
After one initial full backup, Zmanda Pro captures only changed data chunks — deduplicated, compressed, and encrypted client-side before leaving the source. Storage consumption reduces by up to 90%. Chunk-level indexing means every recovery point, from the most recent to the oldest, restores at the same speed. No full-rebuild penalty for older restore points.
Flexible hybrid deployment options
You can choose SaaS hosted by Zmanda on Azure, self-hosted on your own infrastructure, or a fully air-gapped offline deployment with no internet connectivity. Connect your own storage. Mix destinations to implement a 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy across local, offsite, and offline storage. Your data stays where your policies, contracts, and compliance requirements demand it. Backup schedules are fully configurable to run during off-peak hours, keeping clinical workflows unaffected.
Layered security built for regulated environments
Data is encrypted client-side before transmission using AES-256 and flows directly from source to target — never through Zmanda Pro servers — with TLS 1.2/1.3 protecting data in transit. Role-based access controls restrict data access to authorized personnel. Every access, modification, backup, and recovery event is logged automatically, giving you audit-ready documentation without manual overhead.
Predictable per-workload pricing as healthcare data grows
Zmanda Pro is priced by the number of systems you protect — not by the gigabytes they generate. As your EHR records, imaging libraries, and clinical databases grow year over year, your backup costs don't scale with them. Up to 50% lower total cost of ownership.
