Is our disk space infinite?

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

The School currently has over 700GB of online storage. That may seem like a lot, but it will fill up. We do have disk quotas for students, set generously at 500MB (or even higher by request) , but toward the middle of every semester I get complaints from people who’ve hit their limit. One cause of this is that they have files from previous classes that they never removed, no longer have access to, but still own. It’s never too early to think about backing up. Students should (and faculty should remind them) move their files to CD or DVD prior to the end of the semester, before their access goes away.
