Workstation Data Management Information

The HSC currently does not provide a backup service for individual workstations. There is file server storage for work-related data that should be used in place of storing data on individual workstations. Most users will have virtual drives that correspond to shared storage space on HSC file servers: H: drive for UNMH users, and H: and O: drives for all other HSC users.

Appropriate Files to Store on HSC Servers

We encourage all users to store the following types of files on our shared file space.

  • Microsoft Word Documents
  • Microsoft Excel Documents
  • Microsoft Powerpoint Presentations
  • Adobe Acrobat File (pdf's)
  • Shared Databases
  • Data Files Created by Third Party Applications

Unappropriate Files to Store on HSC Servers

Do not place these types of files on any shared file space.

  • Music Files
  • Personal Photos
  • Copyrighted Material
  • Documents with Student or Patient Information
  • Music Files
  • Applications

The types of files listed above are just some examples of the types of files thay are appropriate or unappropriate to be stored on shared files space. If you are uncertain about the types of files you may store, please contact the Help Desk at 272-1694.
