The home dirs are backed up . For large file usage that will not fit within the homedir quota, there is a second filesystem that can be used as a scratch area for data files. Each account has a link in the home dir called scratch that will take you to a dir on this filesystem. Files can currently stay here for at least 30 days.
File size is unlimited.
The usage and files column will show you where you are at compared to each quota column respectively. If either number is over it's respective limit number, the system will not allow you to create new files. Page last updated on Feb 3, 1999.
