Faculty and graduate students have careers invested in research data. It's not uncommon for faculty or graduate students to lose important data or documents (e.g., dissertation files) due to equipment problems or attacks from outside. Information Technology Services (ITS) has assisted many users in these situations. ITS has infrastructure in place to reduce risk in these situations. We have best practices that we promote for data storage and backup. We also promote best practices that protect your lab and personal computers from outside attackers via virus or other malware.
