Administrative Computer Systems Operating Schedule

FRS, HRS, and SIS are up and available as listed in bold below.

Backups and routine system processing and maintenance are normally done during the periods of unavailability. The Info_Services Windows networks are unavailable nightly from midnight to 2am to allow for email backups. (Windows system backups are performed on the networks each evening starting at 7:00 pm but users may be using the network and still expect complete backups.)

Individual computer backups (your "My Documents" or other arranged directory) begin at 7:00 pm as well and may not complete if a file is in use when the system begins to backup the specific computer.)
