Applies to:  Russell Labs faculty, staff and students and Hub staff who store data of any kind on Russell1, the shared fileserver for F&WE, Plant Path, and Ento

Status of the commonly used mapped drives:

  1. Approximately 24 hours before Friday, May 24 any changes or additions to files were not incrementally backed up due to the drive failure.
  2. File paths that are longer than 256 characters have files available but are more technically complex to assign security to. We will work with DoIT to recover these files.
  3. Access for the Townsend Lab is still in progress; we are working with a contact from their lab.

Instructions on how to remap your Labstorage drive is available here.
