Your files are backed up several times a week and you can easily retrieve copies yourself from your home directory. Backups are done Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 a.m.
From your home directory, /locker or /dept directory, enter the following command at a UNIX prompt:
cd yesterday
You are now in your yesterday directory. It is a duplicate of your home (or /locker or /dept) directory. You can copy files out of it into youre regular directory.
Use the cd command to change back to the directory you were originally using.
none
The yesterday directory does not use your personal disk space. It does not count against your quota.
If you need a file from before the last yesterday backup, you can send a request to restore@rpi.edu. ACS operators will do what they can to restore your work. If there's a problem, someone will contact you directly by electronic mail.
