• How to Back Up Your SAUSD Data

    The IT (Information Technology) Department backs up critical district data (e.g. student information, payroll information, human resources information, etc.) on a daily basis.  However, we do not back up data that you have created locally (i.e. on your device) such as PowerPoint documents, spreadsheets, images, etc.
     
    BACKING UP YOUR LOCAL CONTENT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
