CHFA Returning to ITS managed Backup System

ITS will attempt a full backup of CHFA Windows systems Saturday Morning. As such, we have disabled our "in-house" backup system. We will alert users if additional problems occur.

CHFA Temporary Windows Backup - Was-Windows backups NOT GUARANTEED by ITS

Immediately upon receiving word that ITS was not backing-up our Windows systems data - we started our own backup plan.

Between 5:50pm Friday and 2:30am Saturday - all of the Windows servers and Windows 2000/XP user data was backed up to tape. Our system is unfortunately very slow - but we do have a backup.

We will continue to backup changed files every morning at 2:15am to our DDS-4 tape system, until we have positive information from ITS on their system.

Windows backups NOT GUARANTEED by ITS

We at CHFA|TECH utilize ITS' large tape backup equipment to ensure safe and timely storage of Windows user's data files. We will examine doing a backup of CHFA files ourselves this weekend since ITS cannot ensure the safety of your data.
