Protecting Desktop Equipment and Files

Backups and protection of files stored on desktop equipment are the responsibility of the user of that equipment. Users must back up their work files on a regular basis. Office of Technology Services provides storage space on central servers for this purpose. Department members are responsible for ensuring that critical files are backed up in their areas.

Individual users are responsible for safeguarding the equipment entrusted to them by the college. This includes reasonable protection of equipment from damage and theft. Individual users are also responsible for safeguarding any equipment they own personally and bring to campus.
