Backing Up Files on a CD
Backing up, or archiving, files saved by the Terason software is important. it ensure that
you do not lose medical records. You can also archive files for later retrieval if needed.
You should back up files at regularly scheduled intervals, such as weekly or at the end of
each day.
Backing-up files is copying the files to another place, such as a CD or another computer
on a network. The backup copies can be used if your computer is infected with a computer
virus or develops a hard drive problem that makes it impossible to access files on the
Terason system.
You can use Windows Explorer or another file management program to back up your files.
If you do not already have these activities scheduled, talk to the computer administrator at
your site about setting-up a schedule. If your site does not support automatic backups, you
may have to perform the backups yourself.
Use the CD writer software on your computer to back up files to a CD. Refer to the
different CD-writer software user guide or online help for instructions.
Follow these guidelines to choose what to copy:

the default directory display in the Terason Explorer window, and you may have difficulty
locating other files. Typically, you only move files when you are archiving older files that
you do not need on your computer.
