Network
Guidelines and Policies
Drew's network services
are primarily made available for academic and work-related use
for faculty, staff, and students. The
following policies and guidelines for these systems apply as a
supplement to the standard computer and network usage guidelines:
- Any software installation
to be installed on the network for use by multiple users must
be submitted through documented standard
procedures and in accordance with all relevant licensing
restrictions. Software will be metered to restrict access
according to the license agreements, and when possible software
will be installed in public areas of the server to provide the
widest possible access to these materials.
- Personal materials
should be kept on your hard drive, your personal network (F drive),
or on backup media such as CD-R or CD-RW drives. Please refer
to Data
Storage Best Practices for more information.
Although system backups are
performed, it is still the responsibility of the user to keep their own
backup copies in case of emergency. System backups are for the
purpose
of rebuilding the system in case of system failure. In some cases,
using NetWare salvage will enable
a user to retrieve deleted files.
Other servers may not be
established or maintained on the campus network without prior
consultation with Computing and Network Services. This is
so we can be certain that network service and security are maintained,
and to
maximize the benefit of such services to the University. Computing
and Network Services reserves the right to not allow servers on
the network if the functionality can be achieved with existing
resources, or
by new CNS resources
that can serve the community at large. Computing
and Network Services may need administrative access to such servers
as well.
