Storage is only available while a student is an active student of the NWU.
The following conditions apply when using the NWU cloud environment:
- It is the student's responsibility to back up the data stored in any NWU cloud environment.
-
In Outlook, the automatic archiving policy is applied to all mailboxes. The automatic archiving policy is a process designed to help manage storage limitations by moving older email items to the Online or In-Place Archive. Here’s how this works:
Any email older than 3 months will be automatically moved to the Online/In-place Archive mailbox. This reduces the load on your primary mailbox while ensuring the items are still accessible.
- When a student graduates or leaves the University, it is the student's responsibility to backup data on personal storage and take it along.
Backup of data
Storing data on platforms that the university provides is strictly at own risk. Backup of data is the responsibility of the user and cannot be restored by IT. Please ensure multiple backups of important data.
