All files present in your home or project folders on the mass storage are backed up on a tape library situated at the SEGI (B26).
All files present in your home or project folders on the mass storage are backed up on a tape library situated at the SEGI (B26). This means that **there are two copies of all your files in two different buildings**. If backed up properly, you'll be able to retrieve a file accidentally deleted less than 28 days ago. In some circumstances you will even be able to retrieve a previous version of a properly backed up file. To be sure your files are backed up properly, you should read the [backup policies](mass-storage/mass-storage-backup-archive) .
