Review of County Mac Backup
This is just a review and reminder for the EIT Supported Mac users in the counties. The Mac Minis in the counties are being automatically backed up (if your Mac Mini is connected in it's home county and powered on) nightly. The MacBooks are backed up only when you run the backup script. Not all of the files on your Mac are backed up. Just your Thunderbird Local Mail folders, Firefox and Thunderbird preferences and everything in your "Documents", "Pictures" and "Public" folders. Note: Files on your desktop or other folders (Music, Movies, etc.) are not backed up. To get a file restored, contact ces_help@ncs.edu. If the file was there when the backup was run and was there less than 30 days ago, they can help you. If you would like to create your own backup with an external hard drive, flash drive or CD, you can do this at whatever frequency you like. The advantage of making your own backup is that you can take these with you away from your office and you can restore them when ever you like. If you have any questions, please contact your regional Information Management Agent.
