Storage and Accounts

By default, every user will have a 1 GB home drive and a collaborative group drive of 100 GB. These drives will be backed up in accordance with Service Level Agreement CIT Backup Services. Additional storage can be added on demand. A fair use policy is in effect regarding overuse. Please note that a home drive (H:\) is only used for personal data and OS user management, this is where we keep the personal OS and applications settings. See “Access and storage” for more information.
