CS Provides Backup Services

Nightly Backups & File Restoration

  • The CS IT Support Group performs tape & disk- based backups nightly of data changed on:
  • the /users filesystem (Grad/Research Net)
  • the /home file system (Ugrad Net)
We are able to restore many files for users as needed.

Self-Service File Recovery

In addition to our tape & disk-based backups, we also perform special automatic online backups of the /users filesystem on the Grad/Research Net only (not, at this time, for the Ugrad Net) that allows Self-Service File Recovery in many cases, so you don't need to wait for us.

Restoring CS Email Inboxes

In certain instances, we can restore CS e-mail inboxes that reside on our CS email servers back into the systems' /var/mail directories or into your home directory.

NOTE: We only do restores during the regular M-F 8:30 to 5pm work day.
