When working with digital data it's important to properly backup your files in the event of loss or corruption. A good practice to implement is the 3-2-1 Rule:
- 3 – Keep 3 copies of any important file: 1 primary and 2 backups.
- 2 – Store on 2 different formats. Example: Hard Drive and DropBox
- 1 – Store 1 copy offsite (physically or in cloud storage).
Some free cloud storage options include: DropBox, Google Drive and OneDrive.
Tulane IT offers Microsoft 365 for free to all students which includes Office and 1 Terabyte of storage via OneDrive.
Another option is Box. All Tulane Faculty and staff have access to storage on Box. Students do not have access to a Tulane provisioned Box account but may create personal accounts directly with Box with 10GB of storage.
