What are the backups that IT Services performs?
IT Services perform regular full and incremental backups for supported machines at the Primary Computer Support level, and on those systems selected for “backup only” service. File restores are performed as needed. These backups are to protect data in the event of system failure, or accidental deletion. Backup tapes are retained for at most ninety days. Schedule: Full=monthly, incremental=nightly, if possible. At times, deviations in this schedule may occur. There is no guarantee made that all backups are successful. Users are encouraged to keep additional copies of all critical files, and to use the Institute’s file archival system for more permanent storage.
