Group drives for departments and workgroups
Group drives for departments and workgroups
The IT-Dienste provide storage space for departments and workgroups via the CIFS/SMB and NFS protocols.
The order to set up a group drive must contain this information:
- Cost centre
- Person responsible
- Required storage space
- Short name for the group drive (one word)
- User accounts or e-mail addresses of the people who are to be given access to the group drive
Please use the selection point Gruppenlaufwerk beauftragen onService Portal der Universität.
Data security
The IT-Dienste protect your stored data against possible loss in the event of a disaster by automatically mirroring it to another location.
In the event of accidental deletion or damage to a file, you also have access to automatically created daily backups of the group drives that go back 30 days into the past. You can view these daily backups under Windows using the "previous versions" Explorer function and restore your data from them yourself. Under Linux/UNIX, you can find these daily backups in the ".snapshot" directory.
