Backups are provided for Colby’s faculty and staff computers and run on a scheduled basis. If your backups do not appear to be running properly, or you are unable to find the CrashPlan client (described below), and you wish to have your data backed up, please contact the ITS Support Center at support@colby.edu or ext. 4222.
All files except temporary and logs are backed up automatically.
When was my Windows computer last backed up?
CrashPlan automatically backs up your computer data. If you would like to confirm a successful backup, you can follow these steps:
- Click on your Start button (lower left corner of your screen) and choose “All Programs”.
- Find “Code42 CrashPlan” from the list of programs that appears.
- Click to expand (see screenshot in step 4).
- Choose “Code42 CrashPlan” from the expanded menu.
In the window that appears you should see your computer listed. The icon to the left of the name will indicate the current status of your backup. See the icon key below.
Please call the ITS Support Center at support@colby.edu or ext. 4222 if you do not have CrashPlan installed on your computer or if it is not backing up your data.
