Department accounts are the so-called LUCAS accounts. A LUCAS account gives access to:

• ownCloud cloud service (laptop backup and filesharing)
• Indico conference management service
• GRUB

To request a LUCAS account contact Florido Paganelli

Backup of laptops is done via the ownCloud cloud service.

A LUCAS account is required to be able to access ownCloud.

Then you need to install the ownCloud desktop app in order to access the service, it can be downloaded here: https://owncloud.com/desktop-app/

If your laptop was installed by me then the app should be already installed.

For instructions on how to configure the backup please follow this guide
