NetApp Snapshots

A feature called a NetApp Snapshot is available for Tufts network drive users. The NetApp Snapshot feature allows you to recover files or folders that were deleted, corrupted or altered on any of your  drives without system administrator intervention.

A NetApp Snapshot, commonly referred to as simply a Snapshot, is a frozen, hidden read-only view of files and folders located on your network drives at a specific point in time, similar to the way a photograph captures a specific moment. A Snapshot is automatically taken of your network drive at different frequencies and times.
