The central filestore is one of the more important aspects of the University's computing services. The work of every member of staff is a crucial part of the University's business. The work of every student is crucial to her or his academic career.
This is why ISS makes every effort to encourage all users to work using your "Home Folder" and, where applicable, the shared "Turret" file servers.
ISS manage the filestore, keeping it secure and providing a perpetual system of back-ups. Files are instantly and universally accessible by their owners, from any computer on campus and from anywhere on the Internet.
