BY CATHERINE CHAN JOURNAL TAFF WRITER An w computer backup y tern in tailed in th harwan mlth Center will transfer data from om 2 campu ervers connected to the El ctronic Learning Center to tape. Glen Pryor, as i tant provo t of information technology, said the backup sy tern was in tailed in the harwan mith Center in case something happens to the ELC. He said that while it is unlikely that disaster would trike the UU campus, it i till nece ary to protect critical information. "We could lo ea building," h aid. "[We couJd have] earthquake or fire disasters , [which] might cause u to lose data here on campu ." The new system cost $9 ,000 and is basically a "tape box" that holds up to 72 tape . These tape are about the ize of two Zip disks tacked together, but bav a capacity of 200 gigabyte . A Ithough the :ystem has a capacity of 72 tape , Pryor aid only 42 tapes have been u ed. Th backup system transfers information · from the ervers to the tape . Pryor said that full backups are frequently performed on the system, but each time new data is added (about every six weeks), an incremental backup is also compl ted. The proce i much like saving every few minutes on a word proce ing document- all information is captur d in a full backup, and incremental backup ave additional information. Each tape has a barcode on it o that th computer can scan the barcode and know exactly what data is on the tape. Tapes ar u ed over and over again o that th y alway ' have data from the mo c recent incr mental backup. · The backup sy tern acts a an electronic filing sy tern that allow network administrators to pull specific information from a tape containing a lot of information with the click of a button. It also prevent students and faculty from lo Ing important data on an individual basis. "For example, [a person's] computer might be malfunctioning or corrupted," Pryor aid. "Wh n omething like that happen , (the backup system] allows you to take infonnation you want to have on tape and re tore information to a new hard drive." Pryor aid the data contained in the backup sy tem i a communication processing tool_that create a connection between the server and the backup system itself.
