DECS recently completed the installation of a new backup server. The new backup server will provide DECS with greater capacity and improved capabilities for keeping the College of Engineering mission-critical data backed up and safe. A tape library is used for preserving data on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, with tapes stored at on-site and off-site locations. Backups are performed on all user file systems, mailboxes and web pages. Engineering users are familiar with the networked storage spaces provided through the use of home, office, research and web space. Using these spaces ensures that your data is backed up regularly, stored in a controlled environment, protected under disaster recovery plans and, best of all, available to users from anywhere. These spaces are backed up daily and quickly recoverable.
