Bert,
I think I have dragged this post out for a long time, and since I keep changing topics from my original backup question I should probably start posting onder other topics with more pertinant headings. With that said, things are going very well thanks to your help.
I began using AC by myself on my desk (the only doc in a 5 doc practice wanting to embrace EMR). This weekend I am putting computers in each of my two exam rooms to have nurses enter meds and vitals, and now feel comfortable setting that up. In about a month, when more patients are entered, I am going to put a dedicated computer at the nurses station and have them do phone notes on the computer instead of paper charts. It is a slow integration process, but I see it becomming a reality. I think maybe 6 months and maybe I'll be close to paperless. I am using two hard drives for backup, and will probably try that Seagate thing for minute to minute backups.
One final question on this thread before I started posting on other threads. The most irritating problem right now is that when I am dictating (using Dragon Medical 9.5), about once every two patients suddenly the cursor will jump to the height field. I can't figure out what makes it do it. Sometimes a loud noise, but sometimes right in the middle of a sentence and I can't figure out what word I am saying that triggers it. It is most annoying to be in the middle of a long sentence in the HPI, and suddenly I see the cursor in the height field, and all of what I said is lost. It appears that something is triggering voice navigation to do this. Any thoughts on why it is happening, or how I can turn off this feature, or voice navigation completely so this doesn't happen?
