Page address: http://www.mnsu.edu/its/started/mavdisk/backup.html

Back up Your Files From:

A) Campus Computers

Redirected "My Documents" Folder - When you login and use a public campus computer, you can save files in your computer's "My Documents" folder and they will actually be saved on MavDISK. We'll back them up for you and keep them safe. Login to another computer and your files will be right there in your "My Documents" folder plus you can access these files from any computer connected to the Internet anywhere. Click for more...

B) Laptop Computers

"Offline Files and Folders" - Makes it seem like your MavDISK folders are always on your laptop. Synchronize files between your laptop and MavDISK. If your laptop is ever lost or stolen, your important files and academic history are still safe on MavDISK.

Once you setup Offline Files and Folders and synchronize to MavDISK, a full copy of your MavDISK files and folders are copied to your laptop. You can open, update and save files just like you are directly connected to MavDISK–even if you are off campus and no network connection is available. When you return to campus and connect to the MavNet wireless network, your changed files are synchronized and copied to MavDISK. For more information go to Offline Files and Folders for Windows 2000 and XP workstations.
