NetFiles Snapshots
Once a day, the Willamette NetFiles servers automatically take a "picture" of every file stored. These snapshots are accessible via a special directory or the Windows user interface and can be used to revert a file to a previous version or to recover a file that has been accidentally corrupted or deleted. No more losing weeks or months of research and writing, no more contacting WITS and waiting for a backup tape to be returned to campus!
Additional information and instructions will be available soon. In the meantime, if you need to retrieve an older version of a file, please contact WITS for assistance.
