This software allows users to choose the documents to back up and to restore files in case of problems, without the help of a local IT manager. This service is available for every UNIL employee with a UNIL contract (PAT and academic). To install Comet Backup on your computer, please contact the FBM IT Support.

The storage of professional data on other cloud hosting services is allowed only if the data are stored in Switzerland (Directive UNIL 6.9, art. 5). If the data are stored outside of Switzerland, they must be encrypted and the encryption key must be stored in Switzerland. SWITCHdrive, provided by SWITCH, is currently the only service provider which meets these requirements. Indeed, the other known services (p.ex. Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, etc.) don't meet these conditions. For more information about SWITCHdrive, please refer to the following documentations:
