The best way to access your network storage from on campus is to have your computer joined to the WeinbergIT ActiveDirectory. By having your computer joined to our Active Directory all of your network storage will automatically be available when you log into your desktop computer. To get connected enter a WeinbergIT Service Request, and a WeinbergIT technical support consultant will contact you to set up access. If your computer is a laptop or off campus, you can access your network storage by following these instructions:
Backup your important data You should maintain your important files directly on your personal network storage space or periodically copy important files from your hard drive onto your personal network storage space. By doing this, you will avoid losing important files in case of a hardware failure to your computer harddrive. General backup recommendations for Weinberg College. Additional storage needs Additional network file storage is available, for a fee, to individual faculty members. By using network storage you can access your data from anywhere on campus or from home through the Northwestern VPN. Collaboration with colleagues is much simpler as you can share the same files over the network from remote locations. WeinbergIT also backs up all files nightly, and keeps three months of backups in a secure offsite location. By using our network file storage system you are protecting your data, and allowing seamless collaboration with your fellow colleagues. This additional storage space is available for $6/GB per year.
