===== Personal Home Directory =====

Each student gets a home directory with 20 GB space on the central data server. 

Your home directory is available as network drive ''BAUWELT Home (X:)''

If you are working on projects that requires more than 20 GB space, you can request more space by [[contact:index|contact the BAUWELT IT Team]].

==== Backup and Restore of your Home Directory ====

In case you accidentally delete a file or folder from your home directory, you can restore them by accessing ''Restore previous versions'' in the context menu (right mouse click). 

===== Course Data =====

There is also a central space where you can find source data and course information provided by your instructor.

The course folders are on network drive ''BAUWELT Unterlagen (U:)''

All data is read only for students. Institute members can access the appropriate directory within this share. In case you are not able to access an institute directory but you should, please [[contact:index|contact us]].

**Please note:** All data within this share are only backed up to provide disaster recovery. Please make sure, that you have a copy within your institute share to maintain your course data.

===== Project Pool =====
