DFCI

Code42 (CrashPlan)

Code42, previously known as CrashPlan, is a backup software solution provided by Research Computing Infrastructure for the protection of desktop and laptop computers. It allows you to protect your local machine's files on network storage for safekeeping. 
Please note that we don't consider local external storage media solutions like TimeMachine to be sufficient as a backup solution for research data. While local external storage solutions can be useful, they can and do fail.

Encryption

DFCI requires that all devices used for any DFCI business to be encrypted. If you have purchased a computer through DFCI purchasing, encryption is part of the acquisition process, and you don't need to do anything further. However, if you are using a device for business that has not gone through DFCI's purchasing process, please contact the IS Service Desk and note in the request: "DFCI ResearchEncryption Request."
