5 Import and Export Images
You can import or export images:
• To make RetCam data available on other RetCam stations, which include
RetCam 3 and RetCam II systems, and PCs running RetCam Review Software.
• To make a backup copy of the original image data kept on the hard drive.
• To view with standard image software.
• To use RetCam images with third party imaging systems.
Backing Up Images
The RetCam system stores all images to the local hard drive. It is highly
recommended to create a central repository on a network of all data from the
RetCam device for long term data backup.

Recommended Backup Frequency: Each day you acquire new images.
Backup Recommendation: Network or Removable USB Mass
Storage Device
For long-term backup, we recommend backing up to another computer on your
office network, preferably a server-class computer with large capacity and
redundant storage functionality (Redundant Array of Independent Disks, or RAID).
Since USB devices can be directly addressed like a network location, and USB
devices can have very large capacity, we also recommend the use of a removable
USB mass storage device. For secondary backup in this scenario, you may
consider using a second removable USB mass storage device.
Compatible Removable Media
For transfer or backup of smaller amounts of data, you can use a USB memory
stick. Like any Windows XP computer, the Notebook computer supports nearly all
USB devices. While the RetCam system can read from all standard kinds of CDs,
DVDs and USB devices, it can write only to USB devices during data transfer. It
cannot write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R nor DVD±RW.

Note: From the system software, you can write (transfer) data to network
folders or USB devices; you cannot write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R nor
DVD±RW.
