CS Provides Backup Services

The CS IT Support Group performs tape-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.

We perform automatic online backups of the /users filesystem on the Grad/Research Net (not, at this time, for the Ugrad Net) that allow Self-Service File Recovery in many cases, so you don't need to wait for us.

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.
