| ADSM keeps 7 versions of changed files | ||
|
May 25 2004 - The ADSM Network Backup system has been enhanced so that it now keeps 7 versions of frequently-changing files. Previously it only kept 3 versions. These changes have been in the works for a while now, so you should already have at least 6 versions available for restore as of today. (For files that do not change frequently, old versions are still only kept for 30 days -- this has not changed from before.) This is of particular importance for files that change daily, the most common of which are email Inboxes. This means that ADSM now has copies of your email Inboxes (as they were when they were backed up overnight) going back a whole week, instead of the previous 3 days. This change applies to all ACCC email servers -- tigger, icarus, and mailserv -- as well as to all mailboxes on your desktop computer as long as you back it up every day. You can now see these versions on systems where you can login (tigger and icarus, or any type of desktop Unix workstation) by specifying the -pick -inactive switches on the dsmc restore command. On GUI systems (Windows and Mac), you can see them by clicking View --> Display active/inactive files. You can't login to mailserv, so you still have to ask us to do restores for you; we're working on this. But now we've got a whole week to respond to your request for a mailserv restore. Questions or comments about UIC's ADSM Network Backup service, or those mailserv restore requests, should be directed to datasave@uic.edu. |
