Workstation Backup

(0)

Intended Audience: Employees, Computer Support Representative

Workstation Backup is built on Code42’s CrashPlanPROe software. It is available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux machines.

Workstation Backup is designed to protect critical data on university laptop and desktop computers. This solution backs up data files on these devices at regular intervals—whether the computer is physically located on campus or off campus. To ensure the security of your data, backups are encrypted.

Workstation Backup allows you to backup files to a network storage as well as local hard drives.

In addition to backing up your files, Workstation Backup is designed to allow you the convenience of restoring your own files without assistance. Restores may be accomplished either from the installed client software or through crashplan.byu.edu

Note: This is a backup solution, not an archive solution. Archives are the primary copy of historical data, usually retained for the long term, while Backups are a secondary copy of current data, kept on hand in the event of a loss of the primary data. The primary copy of data for the workstation should always remain on the workstation
