Important files that are desirable to have backed up, should be stored in your home directory on the file server. Commercial application software must never be copied to a file server without prior consent of the Library Systems Department. Personal software is subject to immediate removal. Users can now use FTP to remotely copy files to and from the file servers. We now encourage using file server disk space to store all important data files, mail archives, etc to your login directory.
Incremental backups occur every night.
Permanent disk space usage greater than that listed above can be approved by individual department heads or Library Administrative Team. Temporary space can be arranged through Network Services for transferring files, shared applications, and facilitating large print jobs. There are message limits of 200 inbox and 300 total for folders. The separation of limits by inbox and folders exists because the data manipulation required to combine the numbers is too staff resource intensive at this time. A daily purge of all messages older than 90 days is done as part of routine mail maintenance.
