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 autofs service.
Backups
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 ICS Computing Support Helpdesk if you feel you require a file recovery that is no available via snapshots.
