Data Policies

Protecting Your Data

• For the safety of your own data and storage devices:
• Eject them PROPERLY. Improper removal of storage devices can result in complete loss of data and damage to your device!
• Do NOT work directly from storage devices. This, too, can damage data and your device! Work Will Be Deleted!

• At the end of every Saturday, these folders will automatically be deleted by the computer:
• Save Till Saturday
• Documents
• Trash

Server Data Safety

• For your own protection
• Do NOT save any personal information on the servers. These are public servers!
• Disconnect from the server after use.
• Never rely on this server space as permanent storage space or your ONLY data storage space at any given time. Always keep a back-up somewhere else, such as USB Drive or any external storage.
• Although it is unlikely that students will lose data on the server due to server failure, it is quite possible to lose data as a result of students leaving connections mounted on computer desktops. Anyone can then modify the contents of any files within the folders to which you have "write" permissions.
