unique data files.

campus network to redundant servers managed by AcIS.
- Files can be restored individually or in groups, from the original
computer or from any computer via a Web interface.
- Severely damaged systems can be restored to a functioning state, in most
cases without the need to re-format the hard drive and re-install
everything from scratch.

a new computer by moving their data from the old system to the
new.
- This is a backup service and not a permanent archive service.
- The service does not include off-campus storage of backups, nor
any storage on auxiliary media such as tape.

iRoam will allow users who have already generated a backup and have a valid account with a set password to access their backup data via a web browser from any computer. Access iRoam from a secure web connection. Please see your IT Support Contact for further assistance.
