Overview
Saunders Technical Support provides file services to our faculty and staff in the form of the H: and P: drive. Both of these drives are backed up on a routine basis and are stored on a secure server.
...
The P: drive is used by individuals to save personal files in a safe and secure location. The P: Drive should be used instead of my Documents. P: drives are not shared with multiple users. This is what the H: drive is for. Each faculty and staff member is encouraged to store any important files on the P: drive. Because Saunders Technical Support does not backup individual workstations, by storing files on the P: drive, users do not need to worry should their computer fail.
