Data Backup and Storage
Introduction
This is the first page in a network of pages to help guide you through the many and useful backup solutions that exist to protect your data. Whether you need to back up documents, pictures, other rich media, or your entire digital life, there is a solution that will suit your needs.
LITS has also identified and clearly indicated solutions that are appropriate for faculty, staff, or student confidential data--one need not sacrifice personal data to have a reliable backup solution.
LITS often assists students and employees whose computers have malfunctioned while either working on or after finishing some assignment, typically when such a loss is most painful and difficult to recover from. Thankfully, with a very little effort, this scenario can be easily avoided.
