Backups

We backup files on our fileservers for two purposes:

• To help users who accidentally destroyed the wrong file (the most often used reason)
• To be able to restore systems in case of complete failures or catastrophies, including offsite backups (most fileservers use raid to deal with disk failures)

Users can view and read recent versions of their own files via filesystem snapshots.
