What is "born_study" and "born_group"?

"born_study" and "born_group" are network drives! They are connected to our server via Samba.

born_study (\\172.25.250.112\born_study)

"born_study" is only for experiments/studies! This is connected on SleepLaps PCs. Folder structure is the first study name and then the name of the experimant leader, for example "Online-Spi-Stim-Hong-Viet Ngo".

The folder name can be also assigned in 10 years.

born_group (\\172.25.250.112\born_group)

This is a network drive for the whole group! This directory is made for data exchange. The person that is providing data or documents for someone is supposed to place these data inside a folder named with his own name.

In this directory you have all permission to write and read data and to change folder names.

"born_group" isn´t for personal backups!

personal server folder (CIN login name)

The directory named with your CIN login name is supposed to be for the backup of your personal data that is stored locally on your PC.

In the case of temporarily unavailable servers you can still access your personal data. This backup directory is for storing your personal data. For example when the hard drive of your PC is broken.

To do these backups you can do it “by hand” using copy/paste or you use a backup software (for example, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows).
