SENS Alerts!
SENS Lab and Server Passwords
19 Jan 2010 — This semester we are continuing our process of converting our systems to use UBIT passwords instead of SENS passwords, and in most lab settings your UBIT password should now be the active one. If you find the password you're using (UBIT or SENS) doesn't work, try the other one. If you still can't get access, please send email to senshelp@buffalo.edu.
Did You Know … Backups Aren't "Forever"?
The tapes we use for backups are recycled on a regular basis, currently six months. Therefore, you should not consider our backup system as an archive, it's primarily for disaster recovery. You should consider implementing a schedule for saving files you wish to preserve to CDs, DVDs, or flash drives, if possible.
