BENEFITS

Protect Epic EHR With Confidence

Your Epic environment runs on InterSystems IRIS, and protecting it shouldn't mean custom scripts and manual mapping. Veeam automates it. Keep patient data secure, resilient, and ready for fast recovery without adding complexity to your operations. 

Built for Healthcare Data Demands 

Simplify Data Protection 

Discover IRIS instances and storage volumes automatically. No manual mapping, no custom scripts. 

Protect at Scale 

Protect 100+ TB databases with storage snapshots and parallel processing that minimize production impact and data movement. 

Recover Confidently 

Restore application-consistent data to its original or a new location, with fast recovery from storage snapshots or backups. 

Capabilities

How Veeam Protects Epic on InterSystems IRIS 

Protect the IRIS data platform behind Epic with one policy: automatic discovery, storage snapshots on your own array, and guided restores. 

Dedicated Protection Group for InterSystems IRIS 

Veeam deploys the components your database servers need. No scripting, no per-host setup. 

Universal Storage API Snapshots 

Drives snapshots directly on your array, with broad support for iSCSI and Fibre Channel enterprise storage. 

Short Guided Restore Wizard
 

Only a few steps to recover to the original or different location. 

Automatic Topology Discovery 

Re-scans on every run and picks up new IRIS instances and storage volumes as your environment grows. 

Momentary Application Freeze 

IRIS freezes only for the instant the snapshot is created, then releases. Clinicians stay in the application.

Fast Restore From a Storage Snapshot 

Exports the snapshot clone straight to the target when speed matters most.

Two Policy Modes
 

Run snapshot-only to create and retain storage snapshots, or backup mode to capture into a Veeam repository. 

Parallel Reads With Source-Side Deduplication 

Snapshot clones mount to Linux proxies and are read in high parallelization, comparing large database files area by area, so only changed data moves. 

Parallelized Restore From Backup 

Full physical data transfer using the same parallelization that made the backup fast.

Documentation

FAQs

How does Veeam protect Epic EHR environments? 
Veeam Data Platform protects the full Epic environment under one set of policies and one console. The InterSystems IRIS operational database is protected by Veeam Snap Scale Backup for Enterprise Applications, introduced in v13.1, which pairs application-aware orchestration with storage snapshots. The Clarity reporting database, web blob storage, and the Hyperspace and service-tier VMs are protected alongside it. 
Does Veeam protect the InterSystems IRIS database Epic runs on?
Yes. A dedicated Protection Group discovers your IRIS instances and their associated storage volumes automatically, with no manual mapping. Veeam then drives snapshots on your storage system through the Universal Storage API. The IRIS instance is frozen only for the brief moment the snapshot is created, so restores return an application-consistent copy of the database.
How fast can Veeam back up and restore Epic databases? 
 Veeam Snap Scale Backup is designed for enterprise databases at 100+ TB. Snapshot clones mount to Linux proxies and are read in high parallelization, while source-side deduplication compares large database files area by area and moves only what changed. For recovery, export a storage snapshot clone straight to the target for speed, or run a full restore from backup with the same parallelization.
How does Veeam help with HIPAA compliance for Epic data?  
Veeam helps you meet HIPAA requirements for protecting electronic patient data. Immutable, encrypted backups keep records from being altered or deleted, and role-based access controls limit who can restore them. Veeam ONE, included with Veeam Data Platform Advanced Edition and above, gives you the reporting to show auditors that protection is in place and working.
How does Veeam protect Epic EHR from ransomware? 
Epic backups land in standard Veeam repositories, so they inherit the same protections as the rest of your estate. Immutable backups in hardened repositories can't be altered or deleted, even by an attacker who reaches production. That gives you a recoverable copy of patient data and a path back to operations without paying a ransom.
How does Veeam recover Epic after an outage or attack? 
A short guided restore wizard recovers Epic to its original location or a different one. When speed matters most, Veeam exports a storage snapshot clone directly to the target. For a full rebuild, a parallelized restore from backup moves data at scale. Veeam Recovery Orchestrator, available with Veeam Data Platform Premium Edition, can automate recovery of the surrounding Epic VM tiers in a documented, tested sequence. 
What platforms does Veeam support for Epic? 
The v13.1 Epic policy works with enterprise storage systems over iSCSI and Fibre Channel, and mounts snapshot clones to Linux proxies. Virtualized Epic tiers on VMware vSphere are protected with agentless VM backup and storage snapshot integration. For hosts protected outside that policy, Veeam Agent for Linux and Veeam Agent for IBM AIX cover physical servers.
How do I get started protecting Epic EHR with Veeam?
Veeam protects Epic through Veeam Data Platform, available in Advanced, and Premium editions. Existing Veeam customers can extend coverage to Epic using their current deployment. Start a free trial or request a demo to see it in action. 
Can I test Epic recovery without disrupting production? 
Yes. Any restore can target a different location instead of production, so you can rehearse recovery on separate infrastructure and validate the result before you need it. Veeam's technical documentation includes pre-restore and post-restore recommendations to help you tune the process for your environment.
