 ==== Hard Disk in a central backup sever ====
-Every day at 00.30 start a backup process that copies all the files present in the users directories to another server, accessible only to System Administrators. Stored in this server we maintain the **last 30 days** of all the homedir, so in case of failure of the central file server we can restart with only 1 day of losts.

 ===== Laptops =====
-Laptops are the nightmare of any system-manager. Not only they are always a special case, therefore taking the same amount of work as 50 identical workstations, but also (and more importantly), their backup is under the only responsability of the user.

-The files on a laptop are much more in danger than those on a workstation or on a file server: the laptop HardDisk is smaller and more fragile, the laptop can get stolen or lost, laptops get into many different uncontrolled networks....
+The files on a laptop are much more in danger than those on a workstation or on a file server: the laptop hard-disk is smaller and more fragile, the laptop can get stolen or lost, laptops get into many different uncontrolled networks ....
 Nevertheless, we know that very few users backup their data on a regular basis.
-As Laptops become more and more convinient to use, the important work data also becomes more and more in danger. It is useless to have a sophisticated centralized backup system as the one described above if users keep their important data on their laptop. So **please backup your work data as often as possible**. Afterall, your work data belongs to EPFL.
