9.1 File Transfer and Backup

File Transfer and Backup: Secure storage and redundancy for protecting recordings.

  • Secure Transfer: If possible, avoid transferring files using removable media (USB drives). Use secure, encrypted network transfer protocols approved by your institution.

  • Centralized Storage: Store video files in a designated, protected location on your hospital network with appropriate access controls.

  • Redundant Backups: Maintain multiple backups (e.g., on-site and cloud-based) to safeguard against data loss due to hardware failure or unforeseen events.

  • Encryption: Use strong encryption to protect both stored video files and those in transit, especially if they include potentially identifiable patient information.
