2.5.4.2 Note for the Administration of “Full Backup” Data
All settings and patient data created since last full backup are NOT backed-up! It is highly
recommended to create a full backup of settings and patient data regularly.
When the Full Backup is stored on a network drive, it may be desirable to move the data (e.g.,
for backup or maintenance).
For more information see 'Backup' on page 13-47.
The directory structure of the full backup data is as follows:
Every “Full Backup” resides in a subfolder of the main “
fullbackup” -folder found at the root of
the drive. For example: Z:\fullbackup.
