Backing Up WaveOrtho

To properly back up all of your data, there are specific folders that either must be added or excluded from any backup programs. Make sure to exclude folders marked as [EXCLUDE] from backup programs — otherwise the database can become corrupted. The folders are listed below. If you do not know how to check this, please contact your IT professional.

Cloud Backup Service

WaveOrtho also offers a Cloud Backup Service. For more information, contact support.

If you already have an online or cloud backup service, WaveOrtho can set up a special backup schedule for the cloud, which will allow the backup to use less space on your cloud backup account. Contact support for assistance.
