Storage and backups
Departmental file storage
Large network file shares are available for departments to store and share files. These high-performance file shares are backed up daily and accessible from anywhere on the UVic network. They offer departments an excellent way to store, share, and collaborate on files.
Professors may also use the SFG Clients network share to share resources such as course syllabi, handouts, and readings with their students. Additionally, it may be used as a drop-box for digital assignments. All of the workstations in UVic's computing facilities have SFG Clients mounted, but you can also connect from your personal notebook or home computer, even from off-campus.
