Backing Up Images

The RetCam system stores all images to the local hard drive. It is highly recommended to
create a central repository on a network of all data in the MLX format from the RetCam
device for long term data backup.

Backup Recommendation: Network or Removable USB Storage Device

For long-term backup, when not using RCRS, we recommend backing up to another
computer on your office network, preferably a server-class computer with large capacity
and redundant storage functionality (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, or RAID).
Since USB devices can be directly addressed like a network location, and USB devices
can have very large capacity, we also recommend the use of a removable USB mass
storage device. For secondary backup in this scenario, consider using a second
removable USB mass storage device.
