== Personal Data ==
You should save your personal data (created files) to a folder on the H: drive which is secured by a nightly backup. We can also restore data from a previous day if you delete something accidentally. For a reqeust, send an email to support@ee.ethz.ch

The W: drive contains application configuration files of your application. Do not delete these folders "to make space" or "clean up a bit".

== public_html ==
By default, no access is possible to your data in your public_html which is the web root for your personal website on people.ee.ethz.ch/~<username>.
If you want to make data accessible on people website you must change the permissions on the public_html directory.

 1. Right click on the directory "public_html"
 1. Open "Properties"
 1. Open the "Security" tab
 1. Click on button "Advanced"
 1. Click on button "Change Permissions"
 1. For all three permission entries (<username>, <username>-group and everyone):
  * Click on button "Edit"
  * Select "This folder, subfolders and files" next to "Apply To" (just for <username>-group: check the boxes for "Create files / write data" and "Create folders / append data")
  * Click on button "Ok"
 1. Click on button "Apply" if you are finish with steps 6.1 - 6.3 for all three permission entries
 1. Close all windows

== Local Temporary Data ==
On every Windows host, there is a folder called C:\Scratch (the equivalent folder on a Linux box would be /scratch). We recommend to use this folder for processing large amounts of computing data. This will also result in a performance boost because you will not read and write data via the network.

Please be aware that C:\Scratch is not secured by a backup. If the harddisc crashes, your data will be lost.
