How do I access backups of my files in IFS?
All the files in the Institutional File System (IFS) are backed up regularly by ITCS for your security and convenience.
Should you accidentally delete, change, or otherwise destroy files in your IFS home directory, there are two ways you can get the files restored from the backups:
- Oldfiles restores. The Oldfiles mechanism lets you access the most recent backup volume of your files yourself at no charge.
- Operator restores. You can ask the IFS staff to restore files for you from the available previous backups. There is a $10 fee for this service.
For details, see Using IFS Backup and Restore Services [Oldfiles and Operator Restores] (S4110).
