Active replication on incomming dicom files

General
1

Hi All,

Because our Orthanc environment is about 50 TB in size we had the idea to setup another orthanc as a active standby in case of server / storage crash. Restoring the server would take a considerable time because of all the small dicom files.

Is it possible to automatically replicate incoming dicom files to the backup orthanc server?

With kind regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

This can be achieved with a one line lua script to forward every received instance to the second Orthanc.

We have also developed an OrthancCloner python script that will handle the initial copy and forward every received instance too afterwards.

HTH,

Alain.
