- Libraries Shared Drive S:\ - Is the preferred backup location for all administrative documents. All University Libraries staff have access to the S:\ Drive (\\tucloud-01.tu.temple.edu\depts\LIB). Data on the S:\ Drive is backed up automatically and lost or deleted files are recoverable for 30 days beyond the date of loss or deletion.
- OwlBox - All University Libraries staff have 50GB of space on OwlBox (https://owlbox.temple.edu/) where they can share and collaborate on documents.
- Google Drive - All University Libraries staff (except for those in the Library Administration) have Google Docs Drive (https://drive.google.com) as an option as well and can use it to backup, share and collaborate on documents.
- Other Cloud Storage Services - Backing up unrestricted data to iCloud, Skydrive, Evernote and other 3rd party cloud storage services is acceptable but not supported by LTS or Computer Services. All of the above (S:\ Drive, OwlBox and Google Drive) are fully supported by LTS and the CS Help Desk.
- Not Recommended! - Backing up to external media such as Flash Drives and External Hard Drives is not recommended as a long-term storage solution as they are prone to hardware failures as well and can be misplaced.
