C & T holds your electronic documentation in high regards. We show this by the frequency and verve in which we protect this data through the use of multiple backups ... called 'Snapshots.' Snapshots, named for it's numerous, near instantaneous recording of your L: drive data on a variety of levels. These levels include: 8 Hourly, 3 Nightly and 4 Weekly. They are named ".0", ".1", etc., with ".0" being the most recent one and the highest number being the oldest.

Hourly snapshots occur on the hour. Both the Employee and Student filers have hourly Snapshots at 8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 4 p.m. The nightly Snapshots occur at 12 a.m.. The weekly Snapshots occur every Sunday at midnight.

Bear in mind each type of Snapshot has an independent shedule - in other words, hourly snapshots do not roll over to nightly Snapshots, and nightly Snapshots do not roll over to weekly Snapshots. Or, put another way, when, at midnight tonight, the nightly snapshots happen, the hourly Snapshots are untouched and remain so until 8 a.m. the next day (when they roll over according to our current schedule).

The nightly folders don't change until midnight tonight. And the weekly folder will not change until next Sunday night.

The exact schedule for Snapshots for all Filers is:

Weekly - 0000 (every Sunday)
Nightly - 0000
Hourly - 0100
Hourly - 0300
Hourly - 0600
Hourly - 0900
Hourly - 1300
Hourly - 1500
Hourly - 1800
Hourly - 2100

Note: It is important to recover missing data as soon as possible. Remember that the Snapshots occur on the schedule above, so, when that schedule rolls around the next time the data that was present during the previous Snapshot is overwritten.
