The Humphrey Field Analyzer II is like a computer in many respects. Its hard drive can “crash”

and its floppy disk can “get corrupted”. Because visual field test results represent an important

part of your patient’s ophthalmic history, it is imperative that you take steps to safeguard the

integrity of the data by creating backup copies of all tests. In addition to

patient data, you can protect Custom test patterns, Main Menu button

definitions, and System Setup selections against loss in the event of a hard

disk failure. Maintaining up-to-date backup copies of your patient

database is insurance against loss.

After reading this section you will be familiar with:

• 

recommended backup techniques

• 

how to backup and restore menu configurations

• 

how to deal with database failures

• 

how to keep a similar database on multiple HFA IIs

•

proper handling of magneto-optical and floppy disks

Caution: Never turn off the HFA II while the hard drive, magneto-optical, or floppy

disk drive is running. This may cause permanent loss of valuable data.
