If files are inadvertently lost or damaged, Information Technology will make reasonable efforts to mitigate the problem. However, the user is ultimately responsible for problems created by such errors. The user is encouraged to make multiple backups of critical files using personally owned floppy disks. In the course of normal system maintenance, Information Technology personnel may have to view the contents of files.
Some applications involve the uploading or downloading of potentially massive amounts of data.
Such data transfers monopolize the available bandwidth and restrict, and often make it impossible, for other users to use the Internet. Passwords should be reasonably cryptic and changed periodically. It is highly recommended that important files be saved to at least two floppies.
