Managed Devices (MDs) are computers or workstations where only a small selection of software will be used.
Changes to the configuration are not planned here, which is why these MDs are mainly intended for administration.
No individual, independent installation of software is possible on these computers, the users have no administrative rights.
Updates and data encryption are handled by the ZID if the device is restarted regularly.
However, please note: locally stored files are not backed up automatically!
If you opt for an MD, you will receive a device that is already equipped with the requested software.
The following steps usually need to be completed during initial setup:
- Important! - Terms of Use for IT services
- Please read also: https://zid.univie.ac.at/en/
- Plan your backup strategy: for instance use the “3-2-1 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 1 of these copies offsite.
Our recommendation: avoid storing data locally wherever possible and use online storage space provided by the university.
