Facility High-Capacity Central File Storage (HCS)

CMTransfer Server

This file server is intended as a temporary transfer location to facilitate the movement of data from the imaging unit to your own storage systems. It should not be used as a permanent storage solution.

While we aim to retain data on the file server for approximately 3 months, this cannot be guaranteed. Data may be deleted without prior notice when additional storage space is required.

Please note that data stored on the file server is not backed up. Once deleted, it cannot be recovered. Users are responsible for transferring and securely storing their data in an appropriate long-term storage location as soon as possible.

Your data is valuable so please take steps to move it off this location and make suitable backups. We are unable to assist if your data is lost.
