File Space & Back Up @ 間眅埶AV
間眅埶AV has directions to access webspace here. With a PC using Internet Explorer, click on ftp://sfuusername@fraser.sfu.ca. If you get the 'This page cannot be displayed' message click the refresh button and put in your user name (Firefox needs an extension called fireftp).
On Macs (prior to Lion) use Safari to click on afp://sfuusername@home.sfu.ca (if you don't use Safari copy the link and in the finder go apple-k to connect to server and paste the link in the dialog box). Newer Macs can use SFTP to connect with Fugu or Cyberduck.
You can also use Textwrangler which has a built in SFTP client.
On campus you can use \\sphinx.sfu.ca\username on a PC or with a Mac smb://sphinx.sfu.ca. Note these all access the same storage place, so you can also use this to transfer files.
Other Backup methods: online services, external hard drives, CD's, & email.
Dropbox easily allows you to access files from different computers. After registering go to https://www.dropbox.com/edu to double the free space allotment. There are several online backup services - look for something that works automatically and is incremental (keeping previous versions of your files).
You can backup your files to a CD or an external hard drive but if you store it near your computer it will be affected by the same power surges and fire/water damage. SyncBack is a free and easy way to backup or synchronize PC files/computers/ ipods, etc. Also, you may e-mail yourself a copy of important files. Google Gmail is a great free email with lots of storage so it works great as a backup. Email bio-computing@sfu.ca for more information.
Dropbox or any cloud service (including Gmail) with servers outside of Canada should not be used for storing any personal information of students or staff.

Lock-Down Your Hardware, Secure Your Portable Media
Especially if you work near a high-traffic area, secure your PC using a cable and lock. Locking down a computer with a cable is not a failsafe against theft. Rather it's a deterrent against the opportunistic thief.
Portable media such as USB keys, Cds/DVDs and external hard drives can be easily lost or stolen. If you need to store sensitive data on portable media, ensure that it is securely destroyed when you are finished with it, or that it is locked away in a safe place.

Back Up Your Data (To A Secure Network Drive)
Ask your department's lan administrator to discuss backup strategies.
Create a Separate Admin Account, Use a Standard Account for Daily Work
Why use a standard user account?
The standard account can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone who uses the computer, such as deleting files that are required for the computer to work. We recommend creating a standard account for each user.
When you are logged on to Windows with a standard account, you can do almost anything that you can do with an administrator account, but if you want to do something that affects other users of the computer, such as installing software or changing security settings, Windows might ask you to provide a password for an administrator account.1

Turn on Encryption
[Contact your department's lan admin]

System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> FileVault tab
WINDOWS:
Start --> Control Panel --> Security --> Bit Locker Drive Encryption
Consolidate Old Accounts
