Archiving Recommendations
It is recommended to keep the size of the database below 20 GB for optimal
database performance.
Always combine archiving with a backup of the database. The database contains
the path to the archived images. If a hard disk crash occurs, it will not be possible
to restore the archived images, unless a backup exists.
Note! Select Compress Database to view the database size (see 9.1.5 Compressing
a Database).
Hard Disk Space Requirements Peripheral Blood
A processed slide with 100 WBCs collected will require about 3 MB of hard disk
space. RBC and PLT use the same overview image and will require about 1 MB. A
processed slide with 100 WBCs and RBC and/or PLT ordered will require about
4 MB of hard disk space.
Hard Disk Space Requirements Body Fluids
A processed slide with 100 WBCs collected will require about 3 MB of hard disk
space. For an analysis area with a diameter of 6mm the10x overview images
require about 15 MB and 50x overview images require about 130 MB. A processed
slide with 100 WBCs, 10x and 50x overview images ordered will require about
150 MB of hard disk space (6 mm analysis area). Increasing the analysis area from
6 mm to 8 mm will require 78% more disk space for the overview images.
Note! Always delete unsigned or failed orders!
