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 reports from the oldest patient
records (configurable). The Disk management function has
also an auto-purge feature that automatically deletes images
and reports that have already been copied if the local hard disk
is approaching its capacity limit.

Moving 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.
Copying 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. This scenario lets the system automatically
manage the disk space on the system.
Deleting Files: the user runs the Disk management
function on a regular basis to delete images and reports
from older patient records.
