University guidelines demand that mobile storage devices are encrypted!
How to encrypt your harddisk: on Windows 10 and 11: activate Bitlocker: Windows Explorer – right click “c:” → “activate Bitlocker”
Save the recovery key!! e.g.print it and keep the document in a save place!!
If lost, all data on the device will be inaccessible!Plan your backup strategy: for instance use the “3“3-2-1 rule” rule”
Create 3 copies of your data (1 primary copy and 2 backups)
Store your copies in at least 2 types of storage media (local drive, network share, etc.)
Store one 1 of these copies offsite
Our recommendation: avoid storing data locally wherever possible and use online storage space provided by the university.

Please ask the leader of your working group for permission before you place an order.
If your device is not yet available as a destination for software orders, you have to use the inventory tool which reads hard- and software data of a machine and its peripheral devices and automatically assigns it to you as the main user.
There are two tools provided by ZID to do this: TIT (TAP Inventory Trigger) für Windows Clients and SAM-Tool für macOS Clients, both can be downloaded here:
