It is recommended that LAN server disks be mirrored where the capability exists. Backup tapes are kept for a period determined by IS staff at each center, but not less than 1 month. In addition, at least one tape is kept off-site. It is the responsibility of IS staff at each center to perform these data security backup procedures. If this service is not provided at your site, it is recommended that users store critical data files on LAN servers, either permanently or by periodic copying, to take advantage of LAN server data security backup procedures.
Users are responsible for ensuring their important data files are regularly backed up.
Assistance from center IS support staff is available. All accounts on central and LAN servers must be password protected. All account activity is governed by UMBI's Policy for the Acceptable Use of Computing Resources . Server administrators will ensure that each account has access to files, commands, and applications appropriate for the individual account owner. Access to, or ownership of accounts with super-user or other administrative privileges must be justified.
