Important Note:
The DCO backup service is currently being revised as part of a feee restructuring. We expect the new system to take effect at the beginning of the new fiscal year (July 2009). For up to date information, please contact us.
DCO provides network backup service to registered workstations connected to the DCO network for a monthly fee, currently $10. This fee could be higher if you have much larger than usual storage needs. Contact us for more detailed pricing information. We also provide full backup services to our own servers, ensuring that user data is safe and secure.
DCO Servers
All public DCO servers are backed up over the network on a regular basis. This ensures that, when hardware or software failures occur,
user files remain safe and downtime is minimized.
Windows Workstations
DCO no longer provides direct backup support for Windows machines. Network backup service is now provided by ITCS through CAEN and using Connected Backup software. To enroll in the program, visit the Connected Backup page on the CAEN website. When enrolling, please ensure that you list Kyle Banas (kbanas@eecs.umich.edu) or Linda Randolph (lrandolp@eecs.umich.edu) as the technical contact so that we can assist you with setup.
Macintosh Workstations
Registered Macintosh workstations are elgible for DCO network backups. To enroll, complete the Backup Request Form. There is a $120 fee per year (per machine) for this service.
For questions regarding the backup status of your machine, or to request a restore, please contact us. If requesting a restore, make sure to include the machine name, files to be restored, and last known good date.
Linux & Unix Workstations
Registered workstations running Linux (or most varients of Unix) are eligible for DCO network backups. In order to provide service, DCO must have root access to the machine. To enroll, complete the Backup Request Form.
For questions regarding the backup status of your machine, or to request a restore, please contact us. If requesting a restore, make sure to include the machine name, files to be restored, and last known good date.
