Graham,

How much storage space did the 4100 files take?

I would assume close to what they do now on my server ... but since they're encrypted ... just a little different.

You may register your interest in joining the S3 backup program.

No obligations ... see form.

Once it is available, I will advise you of how to signup.

With Graham's instruction, S3 backup running now.  Fetch status: Total number of files 14881, files needing backup to S3 14741.

This looks like a no-brainer.  I don't have to worry if I forget to take my back up REV disc home for off-site back up.

I believe it's a HIPAA requirement that you have an offsite backup - so one less thing to worry about.

Mine took 3 days for the first pass.  Thereafter it happens in real time.

And there is no CPU loading. 

I am experiing significant delay when downloading a scan now, sometimes up to 10--20 sec.

Edit: Nevermind, it's just on one computer, guess it might have something to do with my upgrading to internet explorer 8.

I have pretty much removed IE8 on every machine that it got installed on.

I installed IE8 for several PCs in the office over the weekend, two PCs used today had the same symptoms, unstalled one and switched the other one to Firefox, problem disappeared for both.  IE8 on my home vista x64 PC does not have the problem.

The reason I use x64 is to take advantage of 8Gb RAM.

Now 7110/14942 files left, seems like the backup will finish earlier than I thought.  Graham should I wait for the back up to complete before trying FaxImport?

8 Gb !  I've never used a PC with more than 4 Gigs and it's actually 3 Gigs, because that is all 32bit XP can handle.

Must be good for dictation !

With 8 Gb RAM, I can run two or more Virtual PC at the same time.  For example, I was testing upgrading my PMS database to SQL server.  I installed the server on one VPC and installed the client on the other VPC to test all the set ups.  Assigned 1Gb for each VPC.  This is like I have a network on one single PC, and each runs smoothly at the same time without any hiccups.  Plus, I don't have to worry about messing up anything since I can just delete the VPC hard drive file once I've done all the testing and start fresh again for the next project.

So Qilin .. how did it work?

I suspect that if you ran it, it's still trying to OCR all 14k documents!
