| - | The purpose of these backups is primarily disaster recovery - you are still responsible for not deleting important files! However, if you do lose important data, we will of course do our best to recover it. | ||

| - | The system and user home areas of the centrally-supported UNIX and Linux systems are backed up daily. Daily and weekly snapshots are available in ''/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | Older files may need to be recovered from tape. Tape backups are currently made monthly and retained for 6 months. | ||

| - | ===== Project-specific data disks ===== | ||

| - | Unix/Linux systems do also contain many (usually project-specific) data areas; it's important to note that these are not centrally backed up - please make your own arrangements for these areas. | ||
