System Administration is changing its backup service to OneDrive from Code42. OneDrive gives users access to their files on their computer or in the cloud, syncing your data across multiple devices.

Sometimes referred to as your individual drive, your P: drive is a private data storage area on the CU network that no one but you can access. You must use the VPN to access your P: drive. This is where you should file highly confidential information.
Use OneDrive to store documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) that do not contain highly confidential information. OneDrive does not require the VPN and can be accessed from any PC or mobile device.
Starting Feb. 1, Code42, the current backup service on your computer, will be removed from all System Administration employees’ computers. If you do not have your downloads, music or videos files backed up by this time, those folders will have no emergency backup. Your files will not be deleted. However, if your computer crashes or breaks, these files will be lost.
