How to backup your really important files using the school server

Click on 'Finder'

Click on 'Preferences'

Find your 'Home' folder (look for the icon that looks like a house)

In a new Finder window, you should now see the 'Home' folder on your sidebar

You can now see all of the folders and documents on your computer

In the Finder, click on 'Go'

Click on 'Connect to Server'

In the 'Server Address' box, type afp://zeus.admin.bis-school.com

Click 'Connect'

Click on 'Students'

Click 'OK'

Make sure you are on the server. You know because the 'Students' drive shows up

You only have access to your files that are on the server. Do not be confused by the folder structure, we don't need to use it

Click on the 'cogs' icon and click on 'New Folder'

Name your new folder something obvious, like 'Backup 2014'

You can now copy files onto the school server

Important: do not copy large files that you use for personal purposes. For example, do not copy music, movies, or videos that you use for personal reasons. Only use this for your school work

This process can take a while due to the sheer number of concurrent connections to the server. Keep looking at the progress bar

You should make sure you have plenty of time before attempting to copy files

You might want to copy one folder at a time
