Working With Local Files

涩里番下载 Apps applications are running on servers in the data center; accessing data on your local (own) computer will cause performance to be significantly degraded.

Although using听AppsStorage听(L: drive) is strongly recommended, you may access and save files on your own computer from within the 涩里番下载 Apps Server.

To open a locally stored file:

  1. From the听File听menu of the application you are using, click听Open.
  2. Click the plus sign (+) next to听Local Disk (C: on 涩里番下载 鈥� USERID).
  3. Click听Users.
  4. Click your 涩里番下载 Username.
  5. Navigate to the folder on your computer in which you have saved the file, and double-click to open it.

Remember, performance will be better if you save files to the L: drive (AppsStorage). Once you have opened the file, use听Save As听to save it to the L: drive.

Accessing Files From a USB Drive for Applications Used on 涩里番下载 Apps

Although using听AppsStorage听(L: drive) is strongly recommended, you may access and save files on a USB drive (thumb drive, external hard drive, USB card reader, etc.) by following these steps:

  1. Be sure you鈥檝e connected the USB drive to your computer听before听logging in to 涩里番下载 Apps.
  2. From the听File听menu of the application you are using, click听Open.
  3. Navigate to the USB drive - for example,听Removable Disk (E: on 涩里番下载 鈥� USERID)
  4. Navigate to the folder on your computer in which you have saved the file, and double-click to open it.

Remember, performance will be better if you save files to the L: drive (AppsStorage). Once you have opened the file, use听Save As听to save it to the L: drive.

Restoring Files From AppsStorage (L: Drive)

If you have accidentally deleted or changed files, you听may听be able to restore them from AppsStorage (L: drive) by following the steps below:

  1. Access your AppsStorage space (L: Drive) or mapped drive. You must be on the 涩里番下载 network or connected via听VPN.

    Windows 10: Click Start and in the Search field, type \\appsstorage.bc.edu\YourUserName.

    Mac: From the听Finder, click听Go听>听Connect to Server,听and type smb://appsstorage.bc.edu/YourUserName. Enter your username and 涩里番下载 password.

  2. A folder displays called听~snapshot.听(Windows: You may need to adjust your view options to display Windows hidden files. See instructions below.)
  3. Double-click the folder to open it.
  4. Subfolders will display. The names of the folders indicate when the data included in the snapshot was taken (hourly, nightly, or weekly, followed by the version).

    Hourly听- The most recent snapshots, from the past 24 hours, done at 8 a.m., noon, 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
    Nightly听- Taken Monday through Saturday.
    Weekly听- Taken every Sunday.
    Versions听- The newest versions are the ones appended with 鈥�.0鈥� and the older the version, the higher the number. Following this logic, the newest snapshot would be听hourly.0, created within the last four hours, and the oldest could be听weekly.2, which would be about a month old. You are not likely to find any snapshots older than one month.

  5. Open the folder of the time frame from which you believe the data you are looking for was saved.

  6. Once you find files or folders that you want to recover, you can copy them to their previous location or to a new location. Just be careful about overwriting data if you do copy it to its original location.
