How to clear your OtoAccess® Database by restoring a blank database
If there is a need to clear the OtoAccess® Database or certain patient data after installation, please follow this guide.

Backup:

When finished with the OtoAccess® installation, it is recommended to do a backup of the OtoAccess® Database. Please use this backup as your starting point if patient information needs to be cleared.

Start up OtoAccess® Administrator.

otoacces-backup-guide1

Go to the Database
Select Backup & Scheduling

Select Backup Location if it should be placed elsewhere than standard.
Run Backup

Go to the Location and copy the file, which will be named something like this ‘atlas_20230313102305’. Place the file in another place, e.g., a USB drive or external drive.

Restore (Clean patients from OtoAccess® Database):

If you need to clear all patients, the backup of the database can be used by restoring the backup. This will delete current data and the OtoAccess® Database will be clear as it was from the beginning. If you select a backup, the database will be restored with the data from the selected backup.
