Security and

Access

H and I drives are backed up every night and are a good place to store important files. If your hard drive ever crashes, its files may not be recoverable — but if you have made copies of your most important files on the network drive, they will be backed up.

Access to H drives is automatically granted to every Odin account owner. I drive access is granted separately, and department resource managers can request access through the I drive access formDrive Access Form. Only resource managers can submit the I drive access form; if you are not a resource manager, you must request that one submit the form on your behalf.
