Backups on Unix

We make our home directory backups available on all systems, so you can restore any accidentally-deleted files.

/backup/home contains the most recent backup.

Older files need to be recovered manually from tape.

Exclusions

Not all files are backed up. To conserve space we omit backing up these types of file:

  • .mp3 - audio file
  • .wma - windows media
  • .rmvb - realplayer media
  • .iso - CD iso images
  • any browser cache files
