Backups

Work Related Files
Always save your work related data to your G: drive (Google Drive). Storing your documents to the G: drive provides a layer of safety and redundancy that protects all of your files from anything that could potentially happen to your local C: drive. In case of fire, flood, theft, virus, hacking, or even a disk crash, your data is protected and backed up to the Google cloud.

If a staff member is leaving the library, make sure that they copy any work related data stored in Box or Google Drive to a shared folder or drive. ESS will not be able to retrieve data stored in Box or Google Drive.

Shared Drives (Team Drives) are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device. Unlike in My Drive, files in Shared Drives belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done. Read more about shared drives.

Campus Shared Services IT provides support for Box and Google Drive.
