I tried to use import converter but it simply crashed the background service.

This is the solution that worked for me:

ExportConverters = 4
ExportConverter0 = forward to AEexample1
ExportConverter1 = forward to AEexample2
ExportConverter2 = forward to AEexample3
ExportConverter3 = system mkdir "C:\CoreConnect\studies\%i"; copy %f to C:\CoreConnect\studies\%i

mkdir all by itself did nothing. Turning on debug didn't help at all as I'm guessing that the scripting isn't tied into the debug flag.

Hope this helps someone save hours of frustration I had

Marcel, I don't understand why you said to use ImportConverter for my problem... can you explain the rational? Thank you greatly for all your assistance and patience.

PS, mirror worked fabulously! With all of the above I am able to save in three places and send to three AEs... fantastic!

I had the same problem...

ome_chris gives an example suitable for LINUX/UNIX as the OP requested, but I have a PC running ConQuest.

This is the solution that worked for me:

ExportConverters = 4
ExportConverter0 = forward to AEexample1
ExportConverter1 = forward to AEexample2
ExportConverter2 = forward to AEexample3
ExportConverter3 = system mkdir "C:\CoreConnect\studies\%i"; copy %f to C:\CoreConnect\studies\%i

mkdir all by itself did nothing (nor did /bin/mkdir obviously). Turning on debug didn't help at all as I'm guessing that the scripting isn't tied into the debug flag.

Thank you Marcel. Now that you point it out, I do see it in the manual

I am asking the following question without researching first :), but are the scripts something that would be available somewhere in sample form? I can always use another program to backup to the third location, but having a realtime copy made to the backup location would be ideal.

Our scenario is this:

Dicom images from X-Ray -> Conquest
Conquest ->
copy to AEs: CD Burner, dicom viewer workstations
copy to primary storage on local HD
copy to directory where another program watches for new studies, uploads them to the cloud-based EHR and deletes them.
copy to backup NAS (this is the part that would be scripted or accomplished with SyncBack)

I'm an experienced IT guy but new to DICOM and medical imaging, so any pointers are greatly appreciated (even if it is just validation of the above or to tell me that I'm clueless)
Thank you!

I am an IT person fairly new to DICOM servers and I'm trying to setup Conquest to write to three locations at the same time - the primary storage, backup storage and a folder path that uploads and deletes whatever is placed in it. My understanding of MAGDevices in dicom.ini was flawed - I though that if I configured all three paths there and set the value to 3 then it would write to all three. It seems that this parameter instead is used to provide failover paths for when storage devices fill up.

Is there any way to get Conquest to write to three paths at once (similar to how it writes to several AEs at once)?

PS, I am going through the manual but I rather urgently need a solution so any assistance is much appreciated

Thank you!
