Network drives
Mount Royal University data is located in two distinct places on the network, the H: and J: drives. The H: drive, acts as the home drive for each user. It is where the users My Documents folder is located. Each user's H: drive is secured, redundant and accessible only by the authorized user. All data stored inside the My Documents folder is secured, accessible remotely and backed up each night.
- IT Services strongly advises our users to use their My Documents folder as their primary data storage location.
- Please note, data stored on the desktop or any other location on the workstation is not redirected to the network and consequently not backed up.
