DISCUS DMC.Backup
Secure Archiving of Patient Data
Discus DMC.backup is a long-term archive for your patient data based on a comprehensive all-in-one solution.
We are convinced that data is only really securely archived if it is stored separately from the server
and even in duplicate. Archiving on expensive silent cubes reaches its limits,
especially in the case of risks such as fire, burglary, theft and vandalism, even if these rarely occur.
Nevertheless, it is important to take these risks into account.
Our long-term archive solution consists of hardware, two Blu-ray burners and software.
This software checks the database of a PACS server at a user-defined time interval or time window.
When new entries are made, the DICOM data is automatically backed up on an XL 100GB Blu-ray disk.
The backup is automatically duplicated with one copy.
The prepared long-term archive media are supplied with the correct imprint, label and archive number.
You also receive an index file for automatic recognition in the system.
The software retrieves current data from any PACS server and saves it on Blu-ray discs.
The program runs as follows:
1. time-controlled query via DICOM Query/Retrieve to determine whether new DICOM series are available.
1.1 Query interval is adjustable (from 10 minutes to 24 hours).
1.2 Minimum age of series can be set (from 5 minutes to 30 minutes) to ensure that DICOM series are fully archived on a medium.
2. download all new series via DICOM GET or MOVE, whereby it is configurable whether GET or MOVE is used.
If MOVE is used, the program only accepts connections from the configured PACS server to ensure security.
3 Data is collected until a quantity or time limit is reached.
For example, all data older than one day and/or larger than 80% of the Blu-ray is archived.
4 When the limit is reached, the data is burned to a Blu-ray and reference data is written to a database.
5. further data can be searched for and downloaded from the PACS server during the burning process.
It is possible to create backup Blu-rays on a time or volume-controlled basis to ensure reliable protection against fire, burglary, theft and vandalism.
The system is extremely reliable and fail-safe.
