To clarify, I never use Amazing Charts backup. And I don't do bare-metal installs. Everything is virtualized and I back up the entire virtual machine. The reason for this is there are always other things you care about on the server besides Amazing Charts:
* Updox installation
* Interfaces that themselves may have programs installed to facilitate
* Practice Management software.
And so on. With the AC backup you have your Amazing Charts databases and imported items, but you lose all the stuff I mentioned above, and it could take hours/days to get all that stuff re-installed. You have to coordinate with vendors (e.g. LabCorps), for them to get their stuff back on, so forth and so on and so on and so forth. What a nightmare.
When I restore the VM, everything including other vendor installs is back the way it was and we are done, Done, DONE.
