Dealing with backups of digital files for other organizations

Karen Linnell and Tana Finnestad stopped by today to bring updated digital files for backup from the C'ek'aedi Hwnax project. I transferred these onto the computer but also wanted to upload them to the server for preservation. To facilitate this I created a new, ad-hoc record for the entire set of files: AT-AHF-2010. You can view it at:

I then put the entire batch of files (150 MB) into a folder titled AT-AHF-2010 and put that into the "Online" folder.

Since I specified a value in the Restrictions field, these files will not actually be accessible to users, but the WILL be preserved.
