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 For Grad/Research Net Users

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 that allows Self-Service File Recovery in many cases, so you don't need to wait for us.
(This service is not available for Ugrad Net users at this time.)

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.
