Maybe after each time you enter a client.
One way to do it is to Click on Administration in Openemr, on the left sidebar, then click on “Backup”, then “Create Backup”. This will cause your browser to download a file which contains a full backup. Put this file on a safe thumb drive or burn it on a CD every day at the least frequently. Remember hard drives do not last forever, so your data is NOT SAFE until you back it up. It only takes 3 minutes to do this.
The sysadmin will be happy to know that he can access the openemr database thru PHPMyadmin directly from the openemr database. The raw database can be exported or converted to different formats.
P.S. Downloading the database from the server to the client computer makes a weak, but easy and potentially useful backup even if the backup file is stored on the Desktop, etc. Keep security in mind, though.

ifconfig
You’ll get some output on your screen. This will include a line in the section labeled “eth1″ (or maybe “eth0″) that contains “inet addr:192.168.0.12″ or something like that. The numerical string after “inet addr:” is the IP address of the computer. Write that number down. For instance from this:

me@tronic:~$ ifconfig
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:b3:96:ab:ea
inet addr:192.168.0.12 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

me@tronic:~$

I know my IP address is 192.168.0.12.
Now take the IP address you just wrote down and go sit down at you other computer, the one you want to connect together with your openemr database computer. Ready? OK. Open up Firefox, (or other browser, eg: Opera, Internet Explorer, Chrome). Click in your address bar (the white space where you see the address of the web page you are visiting) and type in the IP number you wrote down, prepending “http://” and appending “openemr” with no spaces. Mine looks like this:
http://192.168.0.12/openemr
Just hit enter and you should see the openemr login page. Save a bookmark and use the bookmark to go to openemr.

This is the wound from a dog bite given to me gratis while I walked to town Friday. I’ll post a picture of the house in front of which it occurred. More later.

Here is a link to his original site, which has clear instructions.

http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/windows/backup.html

I highly advise that you follow his instructions on his web page.

I have downloaded and saved as an archive the scripts, win2bak and bak2win

and his instruction page along with some of my own notes

Here is the archive – win2bak-bak2win.tar.gz

I have not attempted to restore the image yet. ;-)

EDIT: This worked like a charm. I even was able to restore the image to a different sized partition like this:

First restore it to the SAME sized partition, in the same location on the drive, then enlarge that partition AFTER restoring! SWEET! And the restored system works great!
NOTES:
To install the script, do:
cd /usr/bin && sudo wget http://www.iki.fi/kuparine/comp/windows/win2bak && sudo wget http://www.iki.fi/kuparine/comp/windows/bak2win && sudo chmod 755 win2bak bak2win

And then
mkdir /home/me/backup
This will back up the MBR(s):
cd /dev
for i in sd?
do
sudo dd if=${i} of=/home/me/backup/MBR_${i} bs=512 count=1
done

(Example backup command):
win2bak -c -p /dev/sda1 /home/me/backup/windows.bz2

Restoring would be like:

ak2win -c /home/me/backup/windows.bz2 /dev/sda1

But again, make sure the partition is already the right size. If necessary afterwards “grow” it.
To determine the size of your cylinders and your partition itself, look at
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd?
Example:

Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60040544256 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7299 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xe96de96d

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 4589 36861111 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 4590 7021 19531251 5 Extended
/dev/sda3 7021 7300 2238464 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda5 4590 7021 19531250 83 Linux
