Further to John's e-mail below, would you please take a look at your folder contents on the "S" drive and move/delete any content that is no longer needed on that drive. Thanks, Bev

IST has asked me to project the amount of Novell disk space that the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences will need for the next year.
If you are a Novell user, please review files located on your Novell H: drive, shared departmental folders, as well as files located in the S:\public directory, and delete any unnecessary or outdated files. The purpose of this cleanup is to reduce the size of the monthly (complete) backup, and to prepare for the eventual migration of the data to the Microsoft Active Directory file system.
There appear to be a large number of files that date back to 2008 or earlier. The Novell file system is not meant to be used as a long-term storage method. Users should be burning these files to DVD or transferring them to an external hard drive.
If you have any questions about how to organize your data on the Novell network, please do not hesitate to call me.
Thank you.
