How to access your data
Data are automatically saved on our data server. They are then backed up daily on two different locations.
Data are password protected, restricting their access to the owner only.
C-CART has a no USB key policy. We encourage our users to copy their data to their personal computer using the method described below. Note that our dataserver can be accessed only from MUN campus and from wired computers (we are not responsible for wireless connection issues).
