Data Backup
You should make a backup copy of patient and examination data at
regular intervals. In case of loss of data, you can reconstruct the data
from a previously created backup with the help of this function. Since
data backup takes several minutes, depending on the scope of the
database and the data to be backed up, a backup should be carried out
when the PC and the device will not be needed.
Note
Risk of loss of data due to computer viruses
Computer viruses can cause loss of data.
Run a virus check before making a backup to a USB flash drive.
☞
The general rules for security backups apply to the creation of backup
copies created with the help of the Patient Data Management system.
Storage of backup files should always be done on a separate system (for
example on the delivered external hard drive on a USB flash drive with
adequate capacity).
