Filestore (2) – Removable Media/e-mail attachments
• We recommend that if you need to save your work onto removable media, you use a USB flash
drive to do this at Brunel or at home, or that you use a rewritable CD at home if you have this
option. Please note that flash drives can suddenly become corrupted and stop working. This
could result in you losing your work.
• We therefore advise that you also back your work up onto your H:\ drive so that you have a
second current copy of your work available to you in the event of an emergency.
• If you open a file from an attachment within an e-mail message, ensure you save the document
to the H:\ drive and then open the document from the H:\ drive BEFORE starting work on it.
Warning: do not make changes to the document directly within the file which you
have opened from within the e-mail message, as these changes will not be saved.
