Netstore?
"NetStore" is a personalized network storage
resource available to faculty, staff and students to store
important electronic files and resources. SPU students,
faculty and staff are assigned 25Mb of storage space on
a confidential network server. Information stored in the
NetStore is accessible only by the user and from virtually
any networked computer. A fundemental difference between
NetStore and Datasync concerns personal computers. If
you have data on a personal computer that you wish to
maintain on a network resource, NetStore may be a helpful
resource.
Practical Applications:
Students may find it helpful to use their NetStore to
save important papers and portfolios. It's a great place
to keep a back up copy of essential academic resources.
NetStore also works as a good temporary storage area save
a paper here from home, then access and print it when
you arrive to campus!
Faculty and staff can take advantage of NetStore as a
means for save and transport files from their personal
computer to the office.
NetStore is a handy place to backup important and/or confidential
files.*
* Please note that NetStore is no substitute for good
back-up practices. You should always keep at least two
copies of important information on two sets of media (a
hard drive and a Zip disk, for example) AND keep an additional
copy of critical information in an entirely separate physical
location. CIS will routinely backup NetStores to tape
- but this is only done to safeguard things against a
hardware failure. Please do not rely on your NetStore
as the only place for back up materials!
