CRITICALLY IMPORTANT! YOU MUST CONSIDER BACKUP!

The following four questions need to be answered to your satisfaction.

  • Where is backup taking place? The IT group is only responsible for backing up central systems.
  • If you do your own backup, what media will be used? There are options so please ask.
  • How often will you do backup? We have examples so please ask.
  • If you are not doing backup, are you comfortable with losing everything?
  • EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2011 -- The Martinos Center Help Desk will no longer support any external drives (USB, Firewire, eSata, RAID etc) for linux workstation backup.
