Why ? What ? Sometimes we need to move the existing PACS environment to a newer one due to space limitations as well as due to other security issues. Here I am going to discuss the steps that need to take for the backup and restoration of ' DCM4CHEE 2.18.1' . Here I call ' ServerA ' as my existing server and ' ServerB ' as the targeted new server where we need to deploy latest backup. How to backup images from ServerA? Its quite easy to backup old images and database into a new DCM4CHEE-2.18.1 version platform. Backing up sense has two actions:  1. Backup the 'Archive' folder where Dicom images have been saved. 2.
