Data Backup
EZBackup and EZMove
EZBackup or EZMove allows you to manage hard disk space
(move images off the hard drive) while maintaining the patient
database on the scanner, as well as to back up the patient
database and images.
GE Healthcare IS NOT responsible for lost data if you do not
follow suggested back-up procedures. GE Healthcare WILL
NOT aid in the recovery of lost data.
HINTS
PLEASE READ THIS
Ensure that you have established a data management protocol
for your office/institution. You MUST manage the backup media
by keeping a log and by creating a media filing system.
For example, if you need to back up 500 MB/day, or 2.5 GB/
week, then you need to back up 5 CDs/week, or ~250CDs/
year.
Generally speaking, you should back up the system when you
have 10 GB of images to back up.
You should assign the person who is in charge of performing
the backups. Backups will vary by the volume of your work. You
need to track how long it takes your office/institution to get to
10 GB, and set the back-up parameters accordingly.
Your office/institution needs to determine your backup strategy,
for instance, backup weekly and move monthly. It should be an
easy strategy to perform and to remember. And follow this
same strategy/schedule consistently.
It’s also useful to keep your more recent information on the
hard drive since it’s easier to recall that way.
