Any shared network drives can protect critical documents, but I would expect that many people in the university have critical data for which those drives are simply unusable - can they put a 20gb experimental dataset they have gathered for analysis on that drive due to quotas, and if they can, would it have reasonable performance?
- lupire 6y ago20GB? That's $20/yr Google Drive / Dropbox / whatever, synced from local disk. And a $7 USB key cold storage.

- PeterisP 6y agoI agree that there are solutions available at a reasonable cost, but the question is why this organization appararently did not implement any of these solutions, and will they do it after this incident.
