-The file server where all the homedir are stored has a high level of performance and security in order to prevent the loose or the manual deletion of one file. From teorical point of view it's better to use this file server to store every file we access and need, but after the teory start the practic and for now managing big files or huge amounts of small/medium files generate problems.

-Currently you don't have limitation on the the type of files you want store in your homedir. The only limitations you are subject is the complessive disk space used by your files.
+Currently you don't have limitation on the the type of files you want store in your homedir. The only limitations you are subject is the total disk space used by your files.
 At this moment all users share the same disk space (around 900 GByte) and we count on the personal attention to not overload the network and the file server. Although the disk space can appear huge, don't forget that all users of the network (the one you know, but also people you never meet physically) are using the same space, so pay attention.
-Maybe you didn't noticed, but the dimension of files increase constantly. Maybe you don't know, but the high quality of the song or video you are watching in the left window just now means that the file is big. When I say big I mean **BIG**. Just imagine how many floppy disk you need to store this file and think about carry all these floppies in you backpack (not to mention the time you need to write all the floppies). Networks simplified the transmission of data accross the planet, but this don't means that the work is completely disappeared, it's only hidden and performed by something else.

Maybe you don't know yet, but the high quality of the song or video you are watching in the left window just now means that the file is big. When I say big I mean **BIG** in therms of bytes used to store the whole.

-Every night there's a backup of all the files present in our file server. Transferring all these data accross the network needs time (around 50 Gbytes/hour) and we have only part of the night at our disposition (only closed and unused files can be backed up).

Transferring all these data across the network needs time (around 50 Gbytes per hour) and we have only part of the night at our disposition (only closed and unused files can be backed up). For these, and other reasons, at the moment we can backup only 600 Gbyte of the whole server and so we must limit the type of files stored there.
