Comprehensive Backup Strategies for BYU: Protecting Data from Loss and Disaster
At Brigham Young University, the importance of safeguarding data cannot be overstated. Our backup strategies, implemented by Director Todd Berrett, focus on both workstation and campus server backups to protect against data loss from natural and unnatural disasters. With features like real-time backups, customizable policies, and retention for deleted data, each license supports 100GB of cloud-based storage accessible anytime. This ensures users can restore needed files efficiently. Available for university-owned devices, our solutions were launched in Fall 2012 and are continuously optimized.
