====== ICS Home Directory ======
===== Summary =====

Your ICS Home Directory is shared across all ICS supported hosts.   Any time you login to an ICS support host you will be presenting with the same home directory and files as any other supported host at ICS.   You will always start at the root level of your home directory.  e.g. /home/$USER.

===== Services =====

This is accomplished via [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System:NFS]] storage and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automounter|autofs]] service.
 
===== Backups =====

==== Snapshots ====

[[accounts:snapshots|Snapshots]]

==== Long Term Backups ====

Backups to tape are made once per month.   Our goals is to keep a quarterly copy of the each home directory on tape for two or more years.   Contact [[start#contacting_ics_computing_support_helpdesk|ICS Computing Support Helpdesk]] if you feel  you require a file recovery that is no available via snapshots.
