IT has been working to update electronic storage used by faculty and staff. On Friday, Dec. 13, we will turn off what has been traditionally referred to as the H-drive (Mac users may know this better as *username*$). We have spent the last three months contacting active users of this service and have helped them transition to alternative storage and set them up on our new automated backup system called CrashPlan.
We have reached the time to turn this service off. Files will be retained, but users will not have direct access. This transition will not affect most users. If you are still actively using your H-drive, then please contact the IT Service Desk before Friday Dec. 13, to set up an appointment if you need help transitioning away from using your H-drive.
Questions? Contact the Service Desk at servicedesk@georgefox.edu.
