R: Drive Retirement – Timeline Update
PNW Faculty and Staff,
We would like to update you on an important upcoming step in the R:\ drive (departmental/group storage) retirement timeline.
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our data management and storage solutions, the R:\ drive will be transitioned into a read-only mode starting March 22. This is a preparatory step before the drive is fully retired during the summer of 2025.
Many areas have already completed or begun the process of transitioning away from the R:\ drive. For those who have not yet started this process, please contact the CSC to discuss creating a cloud storage plan tailored to your needs.
We believe this transition will greatly benefit your data management capabilities and provide a more efficient and secure storage solution.
To assist with this transition, we have prepared videos and documentation available on pnw.edu/campus-share (a login with your Purdue.edu credentials is required). These resources will guide you through the steps necessary to migrate your data smoothly and efficiently to the new cloud storage platform.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to enhance our data storage infrastructure. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the CSC.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued support.
