My ultrasound machine saves images to a CD as TIFFs. Then we insert the CD in a desktop, open the images and import them to each patient's AC chart.
Are TIFFs the right choice? The images are beautiful but do take up a lot of room and now our nightly on-line backups are taking 8 hours to run.
Is there a better way to do this?

You can print to PDF which could make a smaller file, or open with a paint type program that will allow you to save as a lower format

The patient's expectation is that you have all the answers, sometimes they just don't like the answer you have for them

Best way to be to not include Imports when backing up. Use a second service for a incremental file backup e.g. Carbonite, Mozy, CrashPlan, etc. Then at the end of the day, you have maybe 50-200 MB database and only the imports you added that day.
