Don't save documents where you shouldn't. Probably dot point #2 in your IT policy.

Is your desktop backed up? If not, bad idea.
We save to network drives which are backed up overnight daily.

Sarcasm?

Surely a network drive where it’s likely backed up is a good place?

not sarcasm. m not saying that isnt a good place, and anything super important is saved elsewhere, but drafts, or testing data etc is just on the desktop.

If you're saving your stuff to your desktop, that is obviously written to the hard drive of your local PC. Hard drives which are susceptible to all manner of things going wrong, especially if they're the disc driven type. Solid state ones less of a concern. But still fire, flood, theft etc will mean bye byes to all that data. As will an OS update, like what old mate experienced. Although I'd be a little surprised if Bedgies IT department didnt tick the box to back up those files.

A network drive is obviously on a server, either on prem or offsite, with ideally reasonably redundancy with tape and other back ups.

tl;dr save your data to a network drive, IT will assume things on your desktop are things you don't care about

I save work in progress to my desktop, and most files go into various network drives with completed work uploaded into SharePoint.

Have a number of progress files and templates though that I've got on my desktop that I need, or files that I've scanned that haven't had a chance to properly store.

Probably should've been bit more cautious, but then again wasn't really expecting them to suddenly come and swap my laptops over either :lol:

Upside - I rung IT about it, they swapped the laptops instead of upgrading my original, and my old laptop was still downstairs waiting to be wiped - so I got it back and grabbed the files I needed haha! :D

Save your data to a network drive! It's exactly the same.

I recall even naming a folder on one dudes share drive "Desktop" just he thought he was saving it there.

**** me you'd be cooked in Local Gov. We have to save our stuff in a specific software package with very stringent rules. Drives me batty.

Or is it DataWorks, or TRIM?

Well, most of the backup software that we all should be using regularly tends to default to backing up other folders like Documents, Downloads, Music, Videos, etc. So unless you are clever at configuring the software to do otherwise and disengage any automatic Desktop Cleanup accessories you are potentially likely to lose things you don't want to lose. It is easier to work with the system.

Windows 10 updates do seem to delete things they find where Microsoft thinks they shouldn't be, and to reset settings to the Microsoft approved defaults. I've lost a few icons from my desktop and they are fiddly to put back.

All my computers are set to back up to an external drive at the **click of an icon, and I've set up automated backups for my lady's laptop as she is a bit random about actively backing up.

** I just like to be in control thank you Micro$oft - which is why I still have W7 on my non-portable machine along with some old software that won't run on newer OS,and that leaves me able to dual boot that machine with Linux too.
