If a student accidentally deletes a file, here is the procedure for recovering it.

  1. Navigate to the folder in which the file was stored (for example: My Documents).
  2. While inside the folder, select File, Properties from the menu bar.
  3. Select the Previous Versions tab.
    The top of the list should show the most recent backup of the folder.
  4. With the most recent backup highlighted, select the View button.
    A new window appears with the most recent snapshot of the folder.
  5. The last saved backup of the file to be restored should be visible. To recover it, simply copy and paste the file.

Only files which existed before the most recent backup time can be restored. Backups are done at 07:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon Monday through Friday.

Am or PM for the times??  Or both?

This schedule is subject to change. We'll probably end up with a staggered schedule for the 12 volumes which host \\gccaz.edu\home and \\gccaz.edu\shared.

For now, there are two snapshots per day, and we'll see how things go like that this week under load.

12:00 is neither ante nor post meridian, but "meridian" itself.

Of course.  I stand corrected.   Thanks.

7am and noon to be exact!

NB: Apparently, if there has been a file server failover and NAS1 or NAS2 is hosting all of the volumes, then those volumes previous hosted by the other server will not have previous versions available.
