What is the CSDE backup schedule?

On the Windows file servers, we back up your data on a daily basis. Therefore, anything you store on the file servers, CSDE-FS1, CSDE-FS2 and CSDE-FS3, can be considered safe. This includes user home directories (H:), the Projects area (R:), and the CSDE Office drive (O:). We do a full backup of these systems at the beginning of each quarter. After that, incremental backups are done nightly between 11:00pm and 7:00am. If you have lost an essential file due to corruption, accidental deletion, etc., please contact the Computing Core help desk at csde_help @u.washington.edu and we’ll do what we can to retrieve your data. Due to the nature of incremental backups, however, it can take up to 24 hours to locate and restore a particular file. Important Note: THE TRANSFER DRIVE (T:), THE DATA DRIVES (D:) AND THE WINDOWS DESKTOP ON THE CSDE TERMINAL SERVERS AND COMPUTER LAB MACHINES ARE NOT BACKED UP, AND SHOULD BE USED FOR TEMPORARY STORAGE ONLY.
