*Students: Please Read* Welcome to the Linux Wiki. Your data is important and you are responsible for protecting your data. If you are new to Linux or a seasoned Veteran it is important to backup your data. While at Olin you will be involved in many projects. If something were to happen to your laptop the Helpdesk may not be able to recover your data. To keep your data safe take a few minutes to setup a backup.
There are many ways to backup in Linux but one of the easier ways is using Deja-Dup. The Deja-Dup application is free and available in the Ubuntu Software store. Deja-Dup backups your Ubuntu home directory automatically to your Google drive. So after setting up your WiFi in Ubuntu, go ahead and setup a backup. Your future self will thank you.
