EMAL File Storage
WARNING: If you don't save your files in the UserData location you may lose them. EMAL computers are used by a number of University of Michigan researchers and students. They may inadvertently delete your files or install programs that may corrupt your files.
Rules of Use.
University of Michigan EMAL provides a temporary file storage location for its users on a Mac OS server. This service does not guarantee the integrity or the privacy of your files. Therefore you are highly encouraged to backup your data and remove it from EMAL computer systems.Please store your files in the directory with your EMAL username. This directory must be stored in the UserData location that is stored on the central file server. Even though there is no security mechanism to prevent you from modifying other users' files, we ask you to refrain from doing so. EMAL may be forced to discontinue this service if it is severely abused.
Optical Media Backups.
You need to bring your own blank CD-R media. Depending on the media you may store up to 700 Megabytes of data onto a CD. Please ask EMAL staff if you need assistance. For heavy duty backups you may use a DVD burner. A single DVD-R can store up to 4.2 Gigabytes of data. EMAL has several DVD recorders available by a special arrangement. Please contact Dr. John F.
