Files

All owners of a D-PHYS account have a certain amount of disk space on our file servers.

To protect the users from overfilling the servers, each user has a limited disk space available. You may have a look at your current disk usage. If you think you need more quota, get in touch with us.

Read our readme on how to configure your computer to access your files.

Research groups of the Department of Physics can get shared file space or group drives. Feel free to contact us!

Learn more about how to get a personal homepage.

All file servers are backed up on a regular basis. Read our instructions on how to restore lost files.

Access to the files on our file servers is granted by the usual Unix-type owner-group-other schema. In some cases, when the number of users is very small, we also use ACLs (we don't need an extra Unix group in this case).
