Backup

  • Backup and Restore Files in Mac OS X Backup Employees There are two ways to back up your files on your MAC without purchasing commercial software. Manual Backup In order to manually backup your folders all you have to do is click and drag the desired folder(s) from your MAC to your personal folder on the ESS server. *****DO NOT BACK UP YOUR ENTIRE HARD DRIVE***** You will have to do this periodically on your own and whatever you save to the server will be the only files backed up. Example of backing up your local Documents folder to your ESS folder First, ensure that you are connected to your EES folder. Open up your Macintosh hard drive and click on the documents folder or you can click on the icon with your username and then click on the documents folder.  You can also select the Users folder.  In Users, select your user name’s folder (e.g. “jsmith”).  In your user name’s folder, locate the Documents folder. NOTE: The Documents icon on the left side of the screen is only a shortcut; if you click and drag that icon, you will remove the Documents shortcut, not back up your files. Open your Macintosh hard drive again by double-clicking the desktop icon.  This will create a second window. Click on the ESS “Users” icon and locate your folder (the list is alphabetical).   Drag Documents from the first window to your folder in the EES window. If you have already saved the local folder to your ESS folder before then you will see the following prompt.  Click Replace.  If this is the first time saving the folder then it will automatically begin saving.  After you click Replace it will begin saving the folder to your ESS folder. You should now be able to see your Documents folder on your ESS share. Your files in the Documents folder are now successfully backed up on your ESS share. Create Archive Files and folders can also be compressed within OSX, and then the resulting file (with a .zip extension) can be copied to the server for back up.  A folder or file that is compressed usually results in a smaller file size.  In the example shown below, the original folder is 104.2MB and the resulting ZIP file is 65.7MB. Select the file(s) or folder. From the File Menu choose Create Archive. If multiple files or folders are selected, a file will be created named Archive.Zip.  If a single file or folder is selected, a file will be created named Foldername or filename.zip. Unarchiving a Zip file In order to make edits to any file contained within a zip file, you must first unarchive it. Double click on the zip file. If a folder was compressed, after double clicking on a zip file, a folder will appear in the same location as the zip file.  If a single file was compressed, the original document will appear.  The zip file will remain until you delete it.
  • Student Storage Server (SSS) Backup Frequently Asked Questions What is the Student Storage Server? The Student Storage Server provides each Hamilton College student with 200 Mega Bytes of storage space accessible from any networked computer on campus and any off-campus computer with an internet connection. What do most students use the SSS for? Most students use their SSS space to store important documents, such as term papers, resumes, lab reports and PowerPoint presentations. 200 Mega Bytes should be more than adequate for the average student who is saving documents. Why use the SSS when I can just use a floppy or ZIP disk? Floppy and ZIP disks are the most vulnerable form of media. Some or all of the data on such disks can be erased due to various environmental conditions such as an increased presence of static electricity. Also, disks have been known to break after just one fall to the floor. The SSS, however, retains the same mobile advantages of a disk, but with much more security. Your files on the SSS are backed up to a tape drive every night and there is no disk for you to accidentally drop. Moreover, the SSS is kept free of viruses by anti-virus software. The chances of your data being lost or corrupted on a disk are exponentially higher than when using the Student Storage Server. Once I’ve gotten the SSS set up on my computer, how do I use it? If you are using a PC, using the SSS is just like using a floppy disk. Instead of saving a document to your A: or C: drive, you will be saving documents to your SSS folder. On a Mac, you would simply connect to the SSS through the Network and a drive will appear on your desktop. OK, I’m convinced, how do I set up my computer to use the SSS? The process for setting up your computer to use the SSS drive varies by which operating system you are using. No matter what operating system you are using, however, you will need your SSS/Network password. If you do not have this, or are not sure of what it is, you can reset it to match your e-mail password. Refer to this document on how to do this: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/E-mail/General/External/HTO-SynchronizePasswords-ALL.pdf Otherwise, refer to the following instructions: Mac OS X: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-OSX.doc Windows XP: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-XP.doc

  • Backup and Restore Files in Mac OS X Mac OS 10.5 Leopard Employees There are two ways to back up your files on your MAC without purchasing commercial software. Manual Backup In order to manually backup your folders all you have to do is click and drag the desired folder(s) from your MAC to your personal folder on the ESS server. *****DO NOT BACK UP YOUR ENTIRE HARD DRIVE***** You will have to do this periodically on your own and whatever you save to the server will be the only files backed up. Example of backing up your local Documents folder to your ESS folder First, ensure that you are connected to your EES folder. Open up your Macintosh hard drive and click on the documents folder or you can click on the icon with your username and then click on the documents folder.  You can also select the Users folder.  In Users, select your user name’s folder (e.g. “jsmith”).  In your user name’s folder, locate the Documents folder. NOTE: The Documents icon on the left side of the screen is only a shortcut; if you click and drag that icon, you will remove the Documents shortcut, not back up your files. Open your Macintosh hard drive again by double-clicking the desktop icon.  This will create a second window. Click on the ESS “Users” icon and locate your folder (the list is alphabetical).   Drag Documents from the first window to your folder in the EES window. If you have already saved the local folder to your ESS folder before then you will see the following prompt.  Click Replace.  If this is the first time saving the folder then it will automatically begin saving.  After you click Replace it will begin saving the folder to your ESS folder. You should now be able to see your Documents folder on your ESS share. Your files in the Documents folder are now successfully backed up on your ESS share. Create Archive Files and folders can also be compressed within OSX, and then the resulting file (with a .zip extension) can be copied to the server for back up.  A folder or file that is compressed usually results in a smaller file size.  In the example shown below, the original folder is 104.2MB and the resulting ZIP file is 65.7MB. Select the file(s) or folder. From the File Menu choose Create Archive. If multiple files or folders are selected, a file will be created named Archive.Zip.  If a single file or folder is selected, a file will be created named Foldername or filename.zip. Unarchiving a Zip file In order to make edits to any file contained within a zip file, you must first unarchive it. Double click on the zip file. If a folder was compressed, after double clicking on a zip file, a folder will appear in the same location as the zip file.  If a single file was compressed, the original document will appear.  The zip file will remain until you delete it.

  • Backup Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard Student Information ITS Recommendation for students:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1553   Employee Information Policy on Information - Personal Data How to back up using Windows How to back up using Macintosh
  • Backup and Restore Files in Mac OS X Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard Employees There are two ways to back up your files on your MAC without purchasing commercial software. Manual Backup In order to manually backup your folders all you have to do is click and drag the desired folder(s) from your MAC to your personal folder on the ESS server. *****DO NOT BACK UP YOUR ENTIRE HARD DRIVE***** You will have to do this periodically on your own and whatever you save to the server will be the only files backed up. Example of backing up your local Documents folder to your ESS folder First, ensure that you are connected to your EES folder. Open up your Macintosh hard drive and click on the documents folder or you can click on the icon with your username and then click on the documents folder.  You can also select the Users folder.  In Users, select your user name’s folder (e.g. “jsmith”).  In your user name’s folder, locate the Documents folder. NOTE: The Documents icon on the left side of the screen is only a shortcut; if you click and drag that icon, you will remove the Documents shortcut, not back up your files. Open your Macintosh hard drive again by double-clicking the desktop icon.  This will create a second window. Click on the ESS “Users” icon and locate your folder (the list is alphabetical).   Drag Documents from the first window to your folder in the EES window. If you have already saved the local folder to your ESS folder before then you will see the following prompt.  Click Replace.  If this is the first time saving the folder then it will automatically begin saving.  After you click Replace it will begin saving the folder to your ESS folder. You should now be able to see your Documents folder on your ESS share. Your files in the Documents folder are now successfully backed up on your ESS share. Create Archive Files and folders can also be compressed within OSX, and then the resulting file (with a .zip extension) can be copied to the server for back up.  A folder or file that is compressed usually results in a smaller file size.  In the example shown below, the original folder is 104.2MB and the resulting ZIP file is 65.7MB. Select the file(s) or folder. From the File Menu choose Create Archive. If multiple files or folders are selected, a file will be created named Archive.Zip.  If a single file or folder is selected, a file will be created named Foldername or filename.zip. Unarchiving a Zip file In order to make edits to any file contained within a zip file, you must first unarchive it. Double click on the zip file. If a folder was compressed, after double clicking on a zip file, a folder will appear in the same location as the zip file.  If a single file was compressed, the original document will appear.  The zip file will remain until you delete it.

  • Student Storage Server (SSS) Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard Frequently Asked Questions What is the Student Storage Server? The Student Storage Server provides each Hamilton College student with 200 Mega Bytes of storage space accessible from any networked computer on campus and any off-campus computer with an internet connection. What do most students use the SSS for? Most students use their SSS space to store important documents, such as term papers, resumes, lab reports and PowerPoint presentations. 200 Mega Bytes should be more than adequate for the average student who is saving documents. Why use the SSS when I can just use a floppy or ZIP disk? Floppy and ZIP disks are the most vulnerable form of media. Some or all of the data on such disks can be erased due to various environmental conditions such as an increased presence of static electricity. Also, disks have been known to break after just one fall to the floor. The SSS, however, retains the same mobile advantages of a disk, but with much more security. Your files on the SSS are backed up to a tape drive every night and there is no disk for you to accidentally drop. Moreover, the SSS is kept free of viruses by anti-virus software. The chances of your data being lost or corrupted on a disk are exponentially higher than when using the Student Storage Server. Once I’ve gotten the SSS set up on my computer, how do I use it? If you are using a PC, using the SSS is just like using a floppy disk. Instead of saving a document to your A: or C: drive, you will be saving documents to your SSS folder. On a Mac, you would simply connect to the SSS through the Network and a drive will appear on your desktop. OK, I’m convinced, how do I set up my computer to use the SSS? The process for setting up your computer to use the SSS drive varies by which operating system you are using. No matter what operating system you are using, however, you will need your SSS/Network password. If you do not have this, or are not sure of what it is, you can reset it to match your e-mail password. Refer to this document on how to do this: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/E-mail/General/External/HTO-SynchronizePasswords-ALL.pdf Otherwise, refer to the following instructions: Mac OS X: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-OSX.doc Windows XP: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-XP.doc

Network Drive
  • Student Storage Server (SSS) Network Drive Frequently Asked Questions What is the Student Storage Server? The Student Storage Server provides each Hamilton College student with 200 Mega Bytes of storage space accessible from any networked computer on campus and any off-campus computer with an internet connection. What do most students use the SSS for? Most students use their SSS space to store important documents, such as term papers, resumes, lab reports and PowerPoint presentations. 200 Mega Bytes should be more than adequate for the average student who is saving documents. Why use the SSS when I can just use a floppy or ZIP disk? Floppy and ZIP disks are the most vulnerable form of media. Some or all of the data on such disks can be erased due to various environmental conditions such as an increased presence of static electricity. Also, disks have been known to break after just one fall to the floor. The SSS, however, retains the same mobile advantages of a disk, but with much more security. Your files on the SSS are backed up to a tape drive every night and there is no disk for you to accidentally drop. Moreover, the SSS is kept free of viruses by anti-virus software. The chances of your data being lost or corrupted on a disk are exponentially higher than when using the Student Storage Server. Once I’ve gotten the SSS set up on my computer, how do I use it? If you are using a PC, using the SSS is just like using a floppy disk. Instead of saving a document to your A: or C: drive, you will be saving documents to your SSS folder. On a Mac, you would simply connect to the SSS through the Network and a drive will appear on your desktop. OK, I’m convinced, how do I set up my computer to use the SSS? The process for setting up your computer to use the SSS drive varies by which operating system you are using. No matter what operating system you are using, however, you will need your SSS/Network password. If you do not have this, or are not sure of what it is, you can reset it to match your e-mail password. Refer to this document on how to do this: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/E-mail/General/External/HTO-SynchronizePasswords-ALL.pdf Otherwise, refer to the following instructions: Mac OS X: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-OSX.doc Windows XP: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-XP.doc

SSS
  • Backup SSS Student Information ITS Recommendation for students:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1553   Employee Information Policy on Information - Personal Data How to back up using Windows How to back up using Macintosh
  • Backup and Restore Files in Mac OS X SSS Employees There are two ways to back up your files on your MAC without purchasing commercial software. Manual Backup In order to manually backup your folders all you have to do is click and drag the desired folder(s) from your MAC to your personal folder on the ESS server. *****DO NOT BACK UP YOUR ENTIRE HARD DRIVE***** You will have to do this periodically on your own and whatever you save to the server will be the only files backed up. Example of backing up your local Documents folder to your ESS folder First, ensure that you are connected to your EES folder. Open up your Macintosh hard drive and click on the documents folder or you can click on the icon with your username and then click on the documents folder.  You can also select the Users folder.  In Users, select your user name’s folder (e.g. “jsmith”).  In your user name’s folder, locate the Documents folder. NOTE: The Documents icon on the left side of the screen is only a shortcut; if you click and drag that icon, you will remove the Documents shortcut, not back up your files. Open your Macintosh hard drive again by double-clicking the desktop icon.  This will create a second window. Click on the ESS “Users” icon and locate your folder (the list is alphabetical).   Drag Documents from the first window to your folder in the EES window. If you have already saved the local folder to your ESS folder before then you will see the following prompt.  Click Replace.  If this is the first time saving the folder then it will automatically begin saving.  After you click Replace it will begin saving the folder to your ESS folder. You should now be able to see your Documents folder on your ESS share. Your files in the Documents folder are now successfully backed up on your ESS share. Create Archive Files and folders can also be compressed within OSX, and then the resulting file (with a .zip extension) can be copied to the server for back up.  A folder or file that is compressed usually results in a smaller file size.  In the example shown below, the original folder is 104.2MB and the resulting ZIP file is 65.7MB. Select the file(s) or folder. From the File Menu choose Create Archive. If multiple files or folders are selected, a file will be created named Archive.Zip.  If a single file or folder is selected, a file will be created named Foldername or filename.zip. Unarchiving a Zip file In order to make edits to any file contained within a zip file, you must first unarchive it. Double click on the zip file. If a folder was compressed, after double clicking on a zip file, a folder will appear in the same location as the zip file.  If a single file was compressed, the original document will appear.  The zip file will remain until you delete it.
  • Student Storage Server (SSS) SSS Frequently Asked Questions What is the Student Storage Server? The Student Storage Server provides each Hamilton College student with 200 Mega Bytes of storage space accessible from any networked computer on campus and any off-campus computer with an internet connection. What do most students use the SSS for? Most students use their SSS space to store important documents, such as term papers, resumes, lab reports and PowerPoint presentations. 200 Mega Bytes should be more than adequate for the average student who is saving documents. Why use the SSS when I can just use a floppy or ZIP disk? Floppy and ZIP disks are the most vulnerable form of media. Some or all of the data on such disks can be erased due to various environmental conditions such as an increased presence of static electricity. Also, disks have been known to break after just one fall to the floor. The SSS, however, retains the same mobile advantages of a disk, but with much more security. Your files on the SSS are backed up to a tape drive every night and there is no disk for you to accidentally drop. Moreover, the SSS is kept free of viruses by anti-virus software. The chances of your data being lost or corrupted on a disk are exponentially higher than when using the Student Storage Server. Once I’ve gotten the SSS set up on my computer, how do I use it? If you are using a PC, using the SSS is just like using a floppy disk. Instead of saving a document to your A: or C: drive, you will be saving documents to your SSS folder. On a Mac, you would simply connect to the SSS through the Network and a drive will appear on your desktop. OK, I’m convinced, how do I set up my computer to use the SSS? The process for setting up your computer to use the SSS drive varies by which operating system you are using. No matter what operating system you are using, however, you will need your SSS/Network password. If you do not have this, or are not sure of what it is, you can reset it to match your e-mail password. Refer to this document on how to do this: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/E-mail/General/External/HTO-SynchronizePasswords-ALL.pdf Otherwise, refer to the following instructions: Mac OS X: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-OSX.doc Windows XP: http://www.hamilton.edu/college/its/documentation/Central File Storage and Backup/SSS/External/HTO-SSSConnect-XP.doc
