-====== Backups on Unix ======
-===== Home Directories =====
-The system and user home areas of the centrally-supported UNIX and Linux systems are backed up daily. Daily and weekly snapshots are available in ''/backup/by_date'' in case you need to recover files. A **Backups** shortcut is also provided under both GNOME and KDE which points to this directory.
-Older files may need to be recovered from tape.
-===== Project-specific data disks =====
-Unix/Linux systems do also contain many (usually project-specific) data areas; it's important to note that these are not centrally backed up - please make your own arrangements for these areas.
-<box 40% right round red|Note>
-The purpose of these backups is primarily disaster recovery - you are still responsible for not deleting important files! However, if you do lose important data, we will of course do our best to recover it.
