Your network or H: drive (a.k.a. home directory) is a mapped drive on SLC3, which is one of the College’s servers. It behaves like a hard drive, allowing you to save files to it. On the wired (not wireless) campus network, the address for a person’s network drive is:
Topics: backup, faculty, fix, h drive, learn, network storage, staff, student
Topics: backup, faculty, h drive, learn, network storage, staff, student
Topics: backup, faculty, h drive, learn, network storage, staff, student
H: Drive access is now available from off campus and via the SLC wireless network using FTP.
These instructions can also be used to connect and upload files to your Pages web space. If you are uploading web files make sure that you either set public_html as the path or move all of your files into the public_html folder; this is the only folder that your files will be accessible on the web from. Your web address will then be http://pages.slc.edu/~jdoe, where jdoe is your network username.

Your data is not secure if it only exists in one place. Hard drives, CDs, DVDs, flash drives, etc., will all fail eventually. To ensure the safety of your data, you must back up.
Backing up is simple: make a copy of the file(s) on another medium. If you store documents on your computer hard drive, copy them to a USB flash drive or burn a CD or DVD on a regular basis. Important school documents should be copied to your network drive.
If you back up monthly, you will never lose more than one month’s work. Critical work should be backed up at least daily!
