BACKUPS

• Home directories: are backed up daily to disk and weekly to tape. You can restore the daily backups by use of the restoresep command on oas (go man restoresep to obtain a more detailed description). Only the previous two days are stored on tape, if what you are looking for is older than that, you need contact Computer Administration Support Team (CAST)().
• Personal devices: are backed up twice annually immediately following each SEP report. The person responsible for backups should provide you with a tape containing your drive contents shortly after the SEP report.
• Others : /usr/local/src, /usr/local/share, /advance, and the root drives on all the servers are also backed up weekly by CAST. Recover files by following the same procedure as for home directories.
