Advice to users of Psychology computers

• Report IT related problems to Vlasti Broucek (Room 114).
• If virus alert appears on your screen contact Vlasti Broucek immediately. Do not try to rectify the problem yourself.
• School of Psychology is not responsible for any loss of data left on local hard disks. Local hard disks will be regularly cleaned and all unauthorised files will be deleted without any notice. Users are encouraged to store files in their home directories/folders (F: drive) on the server. There is a regular backup of these directories/folders every Thursday night.
• Do not work directly with floppy disks. Use temporary directories and/or your home directory for work and archive on to floppy. Working directly with floppy disks slows system and can cause non-recoverable errors in some instances.
• Space on the server is limited. Please delete old, outdated files regularly and particularly do not store old and unnecessary e-mail messages - you can always copy them on floppy disk.
• Do not use the server as a storage for materials that are not related to your study. In particular do not store images, movies and other material taking large amount of space.
