# Staff Computer
## Backup to External Disk
### macOS
macOS platform comes with Time Machine, a very easy to use backup feature. Time Machine backups can be set up as follows:
1. Connect an external disk to your computer.
2. Using Finder open up **/Applications/System Preferences** and Select **Time Machine**. <br/> ![Alt](img/mac_tm_1.png "Title")
3. From the **Time Machine** main screen click **Select Backup Disk** &nbsp; ![Alt](img/mac_tm_2.png "Title")
4. From the list select your external disk. It is also recommended that you select the option to **encrypt backups**. <br/> ![Alt](img/mac_tm_3.png "Title")
5. If you opt for encryption you will be asked for an encryption password. You will need this password whenever you re-connect the disk to your computer or whenever you restart your Mac. You should keep this password safe using [Password Management software](../passwords/). <br/> ![Alt](img/mac_tm_4.png "Title")
6. Time Machine requires an apple-specific disk format to work. Your external disk may not be in this format (e.g. may be in exFAT format which is accessible both by Windows and Mac). In such a case Time Machine will prompt you to approve the erasure and re-formatting of your external disk (see below). If you do not want to re-format, you may [create a disk image](../encryption/file/) on your external disk and then point Time Machine to this image. <br/> ![Alt](img/mac_tm_5.png "Title")
7. After you select a backup disk, provide password and confirm disk format (if applicable), Time Machine will automatically start the backup process in the background. You may continue to work. You will receive a notification, when the first backup is complete. <br/> ![Alt](img/mac_tm_6.png "Title")
8. If you want to initiate another backup manually, click the Time Machine logo in your menu bar and select **Back Up Now**. It is recommended that you enable the automatic backup feature of Time Machine. To do so, go to **/Applications/System Preferences/Time Machine** and select the option **Back Up Automatically**. <br/> ![Alt](img/mac_tm_7.png "Title")
Official instructions for restoring your Mac using a Time Machine backup can be found [here](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201250)
### Windows
Windows's offerings for backup has different names in different versions.
* _Microsoft Backup and Restore_, which is available in [Windows 7](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-your-files) and [Windows 10](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17143/windows-10-back-up-your-files), allows backup of your entire system or selected folders/files on your computer.
* _File History_, which is is available in [Windows 8 and 10](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/set-drive-file-history), provides an easy to use option with which you can backup select files/folders. _File History_ runs periodically, tracks versions of your files, and allows you to go back older versions.
Before creating a backup, make sure that your backup drive is encrypted as a safety measure in case of disk loss or theft (see [howto page on disk encryption](../encryption/disk)).
The steps to switch **File History** on your computer is as follows:
1. Connect an external disk to your computer.
2. From the **Start** menu select **Settings/Update & Security/Backup**. <br/> ![Alt](img/win_fh_1.png "Title")
3. Click the "+" next to Add a drive. You'll see a prompt to choose an external drive, choose the disk you have connected.
4. File History has now started archiving your data. An on/off slider will now appear under a new heading called **Automatically back up my files.** <br/> ![Alt](img/win_fh_2.png "Title")
5. By default, Windows 10's File History will back-up all the folders in the **User** folder. And it will run the backup on an hourly schedule. To change any of those settings click on More options under the on/off slider (see below). <br/> ![Alt](img/win_fh_2_2.png "Title")
6. In the **Backup Options** dialog, under the **Back up these folders.** you can remove existing folders and add new ones. **Important Note:** Make sure that any application that read/write your data files/folder are closed, when you're making this _File History_ configuration. <br/>
<img src="img/win_fh_3.png" height="200em"/>
The instructions for restoring your files from **File History** can be found [here](https://it.nmu.edu/docs/backup-using-windows-file-history)
## Backup to dropit.uni.lu
The University of Luxembourg's cloud service [DropIt](https://dropit.uni.lu/) provides all staff with 100GB of storage.
To use this service, first, visit [dropit.uni.lu](https://dropit.uni.lu/). You should be able to login with your university credentials. In case of login problems, request IT support using [ServiceNow](https://service.uni.lu/).
Second, in order to create backups of your computer on DropIt cloud, you need to install a client application. The University IT Guideline [here](https://intranet.uni.lux/the_university/siu/Documents/Dropit%20client%20-%20configuration%20guide.pdf#search=dropit) provides the details on how to install this client application for macOS, Windows and Linux platforms, and also, how to configure the backup process on your computer.

# How to get to the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine
![](img/LCSB.jpg)
### 1. Arriving by plane at Luxembourg airport:
The Luxembourg airport, called Findel, is 34 km away from the University Campus BELVAL where LCSB is located.
You can take either taxi or public transport to reach LCSB.
- **Via Taxi (110€ one way)**
From Luxembourg airport you can take a taxi to BELVAL near the city Esch-sur-Alzette.
Trustworthy taxi services: coluxtaxi (colux.lu; tel: +352 48 22 33); webtaxi (webtaxi.lu; tel: +352 27 515)
*Price: ca 110€ one way (in Luxembourg taxis are very expensive!)*
*Duration: 30 minutes (during rush hour 45-60 min)*
Benelux taxi: the price from/to airport is about 85€. To take advantage of this offer, the taxi has to be booked in advance.
www.beneluxtaxi.lu / +352 40 38 40 / reservation@beneluxtaxi.lu (please ask confirmation of the price)
A map of the Campus BELVAL and how to find both LCSB buildings is shown below.
- **Via public transport (free)**
From Luxembourg airport you can take the bus to Luxembourg central train station using bus line 29 or line 16 and
stop at "Central station (Gare Centrale)". For the timetable check the following links:
line 29: http://www.vdl.lu/autobus_ligne29.html
line 16: http://www.vdl.lu/autobus_ligne16.html
From Luxembourg’s central train station, you will get a train every 20 minutes to BELVAL-Université where LCSB
is located. Please see below "Arriving by Train" for all details.
*Public transportation is free in Luxemburg!*
*Duration: 45-60 minutes (including bus, train and walk)*
- **Arriving by train from Luxembourg central station:**
Take the train in direction of "Rodange" or "Petange".
Your stop is called: "Belval-Université" station
*Please note that public transportation is free in Luxemburg!*
Duration: 35 minutes (including train and walk)
A map of the Campus BELVAL and how to find both LCSB buildings is shown below. From Belval train station it's about a 5
minutes-walk to either of our locations.
### 2. Arriving by car:
If you travel by car, please take the highway A4 in direction Esch-sur-Alzette, and stay on that road until it ends at the
roundabout called "Raemerich". Do not leave the A4 too early! Simply follow the A4 until it ends, then follow the signs to
"Belval" at the large roundabout. On the campus, unfortunately, there are no signs leading the way to the LCSB.
Please use the following plan to orientate on the campus. The House of Biomedicine (LCSB I) is directly next to the old blast
furnace site, close to the red Dexia buildings. The building is a bit hidden. It is a six floor modern white building. Biotech II
(LCSB II) is behind the big outdoor parking, right next to ADEM (Agence pour le développement de l'emploi / Employment
Development Agency) and across the street from Southlane Towers.
*Duration: about 20 minutes from Luxembourg City or 30 minutes from Luxembourg Airport (without traffic jam).*
##### Parking at Campus BELVAL
Since Campus Belval is foreseen to be a green car-free Campus, parking may not be easy. Due to the constructions around
our buildings, we currently cannot offer visitor parking. To park your car we recommend using one of the following. From
either site it is less than five minute walk to either of our buildings.
- Parking Square Mile
Price: 0.70€/hour
- Belval Plaza parking garage
Price: first 3 hours free, afterwards 3€/hour (from 07:00 to 20:00) and 1€/hour (from 20:00 to 07:00)
### 3. Arriving by bus:
You can also arrive by bus from Esch-sur-Alzette or from Luxembourg City. Please visit www.mobiliteit.lu to select your
travelling options.
*Please note, however, that if you travel from Luxembourg City, the train is the preferred option.*
