What is UTBackup?
UTBackup is a computer backup service that uses a software client to store copies of selected files to an external storage device. It copies selected folders and files every 10 minutes to UT Servers, encrypting in accordance to Category I data standards. A user may then restore files from the desktop software or web browser.
As of September 1st, 2013, all faculty members, as defined by official campus affiliation, will be provided with a subsidized quota of 100 gigabytes per device, per year of compressed, de-duplicated backup data (on the backup server).
After a faculty member has surpassed the 100 gigabytes of compressed storage, a charge of $1/GB/year will be assessed to either the department or individual faculty member.
This is not a file synchronization system (like Dropbox, UTBox), but a program to backup existing files. The purpose is to backup information that may be lost in the event of a disaster or accident (i.e. computer hard drive crash or damaged, recovering a file that you deleted.)
