  1. All faculty members, as defined by official campus affiliation, will be provided the following at no cost:
    • UTBackup software license and maintenance for all their devices through August 2014
    • starting September 1st, 2013 faculty subsidized quotas are 100 gigabytes per device per year of compressed, de-duplicated backup data (on the backup server)
    • general support from the ITS Help Desk in addition to support provided by local departmental IT support staff.
  2. All staff members, as defined by official campus affiliation, will be provided the following at no cost:
    • UTBackup software license and maintenance for all their devices through August 2014
    • starting September 1st, 2013 staff will receive subsidized quotas of 20 gigabytes per device per year of compressed, de-duplicated backup data (on the backup server)
    • general support from the ITS Help Desk in addition to support provided by local departmental IT support staff.
  3. This subsidy will be available only via the ITS provided UTBackup service (http://www.utexas.edu/its/utbackup).
  4. Each unit will associate faculty members’ devices with a UTBackup child organization labeled 'DEPT-Faculty', and staff member's' devices with a UTBackup child organization labeled 'DEPT-Staff', so that accounting and billing processes can be consistently carried out. Please remember to include a dash between the org name and its appended suffix of "staff" or "faculty".   
    1. While this subsidized service will be limited to faculty and staff members, ITS User Services will address other potential use cases on a case-by-case basis.
    2. The Technical Support Coordinators (TSCs) managing the unit's collection of systems in UTBackup will be entrusted to manage their systems and will only locate faculty systems in the 'DEPT-Faculty' child organization and staff systems in the 'DEPT-Staff' organization .
      1. TSCs will create UTBackup installers for faculty and staff so that their devices will automatically associate with the unit’s respective ‘Faculty’ and 'Staff' subfolders.
  5. If the unit’s storage aggregate for its faculty and staff users of UTBackup does not exceed the subsidized allocation amount (average 100 Gig per Faculty member device and average 20 Gig per staff device) then no bill will be issued.  If the aggregate amount does exceed the total subsidized allocation amount, a bill will be created and added to any existing UTBackup charges for the college or department.
