Windows 11 and folder redirection
In addition to the migration from Windows 10 to Windows 11 there is also a change in folder redirection happening. What does that mean?
Until now following Windows folders have been 'redirected' into your D-ITET home account:
- Desktop -> folder in home: MSDesktop
- Documents -> folder in home: MSDocuments
Within the change to Windows 11 following folders will be redirected also:
- Music -> folder in home: MSMusic
- Pictures -> folder in home: MSPictures
- Videos -> folder in home: MSVideos
All these folders are viewable via 'Windows Explorer' -> 'This PC' (on the left side in "Quick Access" and also in the right side general overview):
You can verify the source of the data by right-clicking on the folder, then choose 'Properties'. In the upcoming window you'll see the
location of the folder, which is in your home directory "\\verdi.ee.ethz.ch\<username>". E.g. for 'Desktop':
This results in following consequences:
1) All stuff stored in there will be backuped
2) All stuff stored in there will burden your home quota!
But ATTENTION!
Windows arranges a second - different - set of 'Desktop', 'Documents', 'Videos', etc. folders in your local home, which is path: "C:\Users\<username"
These folders are stored LOCALLY on the machines harddisk. This can also be verified by right-clicking -> Properties:
This means for these folder no backup exists! Or in other words, when the harddisk fails, the data is lost.
