Recommendations
for IT Professionals:
|
We recommend building the Dictation system on computer that has mirrored hard drives using Raid-1 mirroring. |
|
We recommend that Orator software is installed on a separate partition on the hard drive different from the operating system and drivers. That way if O/S partition becomes corrupted or infected with a virus, that partition could be rebuilt without affecting the Orator “data” partition. |
|
We recommend building on computer systems with SCSI drives because of the longer life to SCSI drives. |
|
We recommend creating a mirror image of the hard drive using a program like Norton Ghost so that the hard drive could be backed up in case of hard drive failure. |
