Backing up my Files
Running low on network space
If you are running low on network space you will receive a message telling you how much percentage quota you have used up. Click "Check my disk quota" link under Userful Links on this page.
Please note: If you run out of disk space you may experience problems such as Desktop Icons disappearing, or settings not being retained.
Backing up my files
To backup your files you will need to carry out some "housekeeping".
This involves removing files, you don't really need, from your network space, by transferring them to another media as follows:
|
See CD writing help page |
- Saving to a USB Memory Stick
|
See USB Memory Stick help page |
Alternatively, if you don't really need the files anymore. you can delete them.
Please note: there are two folders in your H Drive which you should never tamper with as they are needed for correct operation of your network account. For staff these are called "UserPrefs" and "Windows NT 5.1 Workstation Profile", and for students these are called "UserPrefs" and "Desktop".
Desktop
Also, please be aware that files saved to the Windows "desktop" are automatically saved to your "H" drive on logout and therefore count against your disk quota.
C: Drive You cannot save to "C" drive as this is restricted. |
