Accessing Data Storage from Windows Systems

Experimental data storage may be accessed on Windows in a number of ways.

(1) Y:\DAQ\subdepartment\nameofgroup (in Physics domain)
(2) \\physics\DFS\DAQ\subdepartment\nameofgroup (in Physics domain)
(3) \\physics.ox.ac.uk\DFS\DAQ\subdepartment\nameofgroup (outside Physics domain)
(4) \\CLARENDONDAQ\subdeptDAQ\nameofgroup (in Physics domain, not recommended)
(5) \\CLARENDONDAQ.physics.ox.ac.uk\subdeptDAQ\nameofgroup (outside Physics domain, not recommended)

N.B. CLARENDONDAQ is currently being replaced by ALDAQ1, CMDAQ1, CMDAQ2, CMDAQ3 .

Options 4 and 5 are not recommended as any change of the server's name would cause some disruption but they may have to be used on non-Windows systems or in exceptional circumstances.
