Faculty and Staff files are one of the most important assets at the University of Texas. Therefore, it is vital that appropriate measures are in-place to ensure that our customers' data is safe from computer failure, loss, and theft.

LAITS recommends a combination of methods to ensure that data is as secure as possible.

Method 1 - Storing Files in UTBox

Click Here to see the UT Box help page

UTBox is a campus-wide service that allows faculty, staff, and students at the University of Texas at Austin to use Box cloud-based file sharing for business and academic purposes. It is run by the UT Information Security Office

Files stored in UT Box are automatically synced between computers and the Box Cloud service. Therefore, if a computer were to be broken, lost, or stolen, the files would be safe
