All the files on this server are stored under NTFS partitions. All the other drives are used for data and applications. The only exceptions to this are some departmental secretaries. Some users have access to the files in their departmental secretaries folder. In some cases where a secretary serves more than one group, their name will occur in both subdirectories.
All users have access to all public folders in all groups.
The public folders should be used to pass information to other group or non group members. They should not be used as storage areas for common files. The departmental forms folder should be used for departmental forms, unless lab wide access is requires. Backups Full tape backups are done every night and are kept for 30 days at present. These are manually started by the system administrator.
