File management

Tips and other information on managing your files.

1. Where is the best place to store my files?

Storing files on your computer's local hard drive isn't always the best choice. Click here to learn about more options available to faculty, staff and students.

2. How can I back up my files?

IT Services recommends backing up your files to CDs or DVDs. Drives capable of writing to CDs are fairly inexpensive. If your computer is not equipped with such a drive and you're interested in ordering one for a University-owned computer, IT Services can help. Just send us a workstation trouble report. Tell us what you want, the six-digit account number we can charge, and any pre-order questions you may have. Let us know if you want a quote of the cost before we order. We do not charge for installation.
