In the event of file loss corruption or loss due to a network outage, ITS has established procedures to recover your data from the most recent available backup.
Important: Do not store files on your Windows Desktop or C: drive. These files are not backed up and may be permanently lost during a hard drive failure or routine computer patching.
Other available file storage services also back up files on a real-time or routine basis, including:
- Box
- OneDrive
