Disk management
The Disk management function allows the user to manage hard
disk space while maintaining the patient database on the
system. The Disk management function can be used to move,
copy or delete images and move or copy reports from the oldest
patient records. The Disk management function has also an
auto-purge feature that will automatically delete images and
reports that have already been copied if the local hard disk is
getting full.
Three different disk management scenarios are possible
depending on the system configuration:
• Disk management is set to move files: the user runs the
Disk management function on a regular basis to move
images and reports from older patient records to removable
media or to a network volume. Using this setting, moved
images and reports are deleted from the local hard drive and
copied to the specified destination. This scenario prevents
the local disk to fill up and keeps images and reports from
the most recent patient records on the local disk. Using this
scenario, the user can control what should remain on the
system while keeping the disk free space at an operational
level.
• Disk management is set to copy files: the user runs the Disk
management function on a regular basis to copy images
and reports from older patient records to removable media
or to a network volume. To prevent the local disk to fill up,
the auto-purge function automatically deletes files that were
previously copied when the disk free space has reached the
minimum allowed limit (15 GB). This scenario lets the
system automatically manage the disk space on the system.
NOTE: When using this setting, the original images will be retrieved
from the local hard drive as long as they are available there.
When the images are deleted from the local hard drive by
the auto-purge function, the copied images will be retrieved.
• Disk management is set to delete files: the user runs the
Disk management function on a regular basis to delete
images from older patient records.
