The University provides each staff member with 50GB of network backup space for backing up their important files in case of unexpected needs.
All computers provided by ICTO will automatically run the pre-installed program "Uranium Backup" to do the daily backup. UM staff members can backup specific folders and files to their own backup folder.
When the backup program is running, a pop-up window will appear in the lower right corner of the screen. After the backup is completed successfully, the following message box will appear:
