Its primary use should be for transfer of files between networked staff microcomputers. Because this is a public storage area, directories must be created under the user's account name for that node. Any files not created in a subdirectory will be deleted nightly. Files within this directory structure with these extensions will NOT be subject to the 16 day purge rule. Note that these files will not be backed up.
Departments are responsible for backup and file integrity.
These areas can be restricted by user, passworded and backed up as desired.
