Are my files on the network secure? |
Yes. The files placed on your "U: Drive" can only be accessed by you. Also, files that are placed on the "G: Drive" can only be accessed by your department members.
|
|
|
Are my files backed up? |
Yes. Your files on the network drives (G: through Z:) are backed up each night, starting around 10PM. Because of the amount of data on our servers, this process runs all night and ends about 6AM.
Note: Your files are backed up nightly, starting around 10PM. If your computer is left on overnight then there is a risk that your files will not be backed up.

|
Why are my files backed up? |
Your files are very important. If a network outage or file corruption occurs, then we need the proper procedures in place to recover your important information.
