Post-outage King's College London orders staff to never make their own backups

Re: What to do, what to do?

"Please tell me how you make your backups offsite or off the network when USB ports are blocked and read/write access to the C drive is blocked too, and emails are limited to 25 megabytes."

I would zip the files up into one big one, split it into 20MB chunks, and send them that way. On Unix/Linux at least, it would not be a particularly hard script to write, nor to reassemble on the other side.

However, if your place of work has a policy against sending data out, you can't use this method unless you want disciplinary action taken against you.
