Brian;
We have a mirror RAID system (exact duplicate on two hard drives)on a peer to peer network with about 14 computers attached (six treatment areas). Data is routed thru a 3COM Switch. We back up to an 8 gig jump drive every night, back that up to an external hard drive and I have a laptop that I sync to the server three times a week. We have about 3,600 patients now. Many thousands of pictures, taken with a Canon elf SD600 in the lowest resolution which looks excellent on a 19 inch screen.
We HAVE recently experieced some problems with crashing since we added TIGERVIEW digital X-rays. The X-rays are kept in a different file on the same server. Have not yet figured out why the crashes. Am working on it with my IT expert.
Thanks for the Bday note. Still kicking and running 1/2 marathons at 61.
