Save the file (backup)

When backing up a patient file, the data directory containing the file on a local drive or network drive, along with backup information ( _info.ini ), is packaged into a ZIP archive and saved to a drive (local drive, network drive, or removable media). The ZIP archive can later be restored to this computer or shared with a third party via data carrier, cloud service, or email.

Backups are used to restore an earlier state of the data if the file is corrupted or if you want to view the data as it was at an earlier time before any person was edited or deleted.

To create a backup of a file, proceed as follows:

  1. In the navigator, right-click on the card you want to save in the tree view. The context menu will open.
  2. Select Save from the context menu .
  3. In the selection dialog, choose the folder where you want to save the backup as a ZIP archive.
  4. Click the Save button. The backup will be saved.
Make sure that there is enough free storage space on the storage device where you want to save the ZIP archive.

The backup filename is constructed from the card file identifier and the backup date/time in the format identifier-YYYYMMDDhhmmss.zip . You can change the filename as desired. When restoring the card file, the information contained in the backup, not the filename, is used to identify the card file.
