If you’re a staff member using a device with the Monash Standard Operating Environment for Windows (Windows SOE), you can store your data locally on Monash’s servers.

Here are a few key things to know about your data storage:

• Folders that are backed from your workstation are: Desktop, Documents, Pictures and Favourites.
• Your folders are automatically synced and backed up to Monash servers. Your backups can only be accessed by you.
• You can access your data from anywhere by logging into another Windows SOE based device.
• All staff profiles have a 200GB hard limit. If this is exceeded it will affect your ability to log in.
• If your data exceeds 150GB, you’ll be notified and encouraged to reduce the amount of data you’re storing.
• Backups are run daily at 11am and 5pm and are held for 31 days only. Anything older than 31 days can’t be retrieved.
• If a significant amount of the data you store is related to day-to-day work or research, it may be better stored on the S:Drive. We can provide you with an S:Drive folder that only you’ll be able to access.
• Moving your data to the S:Drive will reduce the pressure on your profile giving you a more efficient user experience.
