Recognizing that backups of computer data files are an essential part of
protecting Stanford's teaching and research, the School of Earth, Energy
& Environmental Sciences has purchased access to the central University
IT cloud-based CrashPlan PROe backup service for the computers of all
graduate students and post-docs in the School.
This provides a free, robust, encrypted, and continuous backup solution for any computer used by a graduate student or post-doc in Stanford Earth, whether Stanford-owned or personally-owned.
This is a "self-service" offering. Graduate students and post-docs must follow these instructions to download and install the backup application.
Faculty and staff in Stanford Earth continue to use the School's free internal CrashPlan PROe backup service.
