Network Drives

About the Network drives

Network drives are actually just folders shared on ua-net file servers. The three main categories of shared folders are departmental, user, and labs. A

All files and folders on ua-net file servers are backed up daily so if you accidentally delete something you should be able to recover your files from a saved network backup.

If you have your own folder on the "H" drive, you are the only person able to use the folder. The "H" drive is an excellent place to backup important documents.
