No matter which media is used, it is always highly
recommended to take a backup of the media, which is the
responsibility of the customer.
The system does not offer functionality for taking backup of
images saved on long-term storage media.
Recommendation concerning CD and DVD
handling
To avoid data loss, never touch the recordable surface of a
disk. Handle the disk only by the outer edge. Do not place it
face down on a hard surface. Fingerprints or scratches will
make the disk unusable. Before usage, verify that disk surface
has no visible scratches. If there are any scratches, do NOT
use the disk.
Writing on CD or DVD media
Use specifically recommended for writing on CD or DVD
media. Never use a solvent-based permanent marker on such
media. The following pens are recommended:
• Dixon Ticonderoga "Redi Sharp Plus"
• Sanford "Powermark"
• TDK "CD Writer"
• Smart and Friendly "CD Speed Marker"
Formatting removable media
MOD, CD-R, DVD+R, and DVD-R media must be formatted
before use, as described in below.
Formatting may be done in two methods:
1. Formatting just prior to using the media, as described in
"Exporting patient records/examinations" on page 452.
2. Preparation well ahead of time as described in the following
section.
CAUTION
The formatting process will erase any data present on the disk.
