This copy is made each day at 1am, that means that whatever you had in your account at 1am will be in your backup directory. If you accidentally delete a file from your account, remember that backup directory, and copy that file back into your home directory. The backup directory takes up no disk space in your account and cannot be deleted or modified Increasing one's quota Quota increases are only given for very compelling reasons.

Faculty should specify the reason that they need the disk quota increase on the form. Processing of the request may take up to 2 weeks.
