Excerpt

Graduate students and others are often expected to have personal devices to facilitate their group's research, such as a laptop. ChemIT can help, as time permits. Help yourself by backing up your data. And help us help you by understanding what we can do for you. Thank you!

...

  • Ask your research group if they have a file share.
    • Many groups provide this service since since that's affords a great location to place copies of your precious research-related files.
  • Otherwise, automate your backups of unique, valuable data which resides only on your laptop to another location.
    • Periodically verify your backup automation is working as you intend. Do this so it's been done before you need to recover any data.
