 +[01] HOW OFTEN DO YOU BACKUP YOUR SERVERS?
  
 +     Back ups are done incrementally at a minimum of a weekly basis for
 +     MetaARPA members. The majority of files on the file servers get
 +     backed up at that time provided there is space.  The priority is
 +     SDF specific files, then MetaARPA, ARPA and finally USERS.
 +     
 +     The only files that are not backed up are the ones in /tmp across all
 +     clients and servers.  If you use /tmp for storage it should only be
 +     considered as short term storage.  For instance, if a client machine
 +     has to be replaced due to hardware failure, you are not guaranteed
 +     that files in /tmp will appear on the replacement host.
 +
 +     The back up disk array is only brought online during the weekly
 +     backup session.  It is not accessible to members.
 +
 +     File restores can be requested by posting a message on the bboard
 +      and specifying the full path location to the files or
 +     directory.  You will receive an email with the location of your
 +     restored files.
 +
 +     Its recommended to use the SDF 'delete, undelete and expunge' utilities
 +     which you can alias rm to in your .profile.
