Deduplication technology is enabled on this filestore to reduce disk usage. The Archive folder for each area is also compressed.

|}
 
 
At the end of each Membership Year, Computing Team will move Shows and People that have left into their respective Archive folders. Each Team will have all of the current contents of their folder moved into a subfolder labelled by academic year (e.g. 12-13 for the 2012-2013 academic year), which will then be compressed. Management Team is excepted from this.
 
 
 
== Temporary Filestores ==
 
production and studio2 (and to a lesser extent, all other computers in the office and studios) have hard drives which should be used when actively editing content locally. Once the work is finished, the final output should be stored on the General Filestore (S Drive).
 
 
 
=== Maintenance of this Filestore ===
 
Computing Team make '''no promises''' about data stored here. This information is not backed up or otherwise fault tolerant.
 
 
 
At the end of each academic term, Computing Team will delete all data on these disks to promote correct usage of the General Filestore.
 
 
 
== Central Music Library ==
 
This filestore is where all of URY's PPL licensed audio must be kept. No such audio may be stored '''anywhere else''' on URY's Filestores, as this is illegal. It is secured and access restricted as per the terms of our various licences. To upload resources to this filestore, please use [[Show Planner]].
 
 
 
=== Maintenance of this Filestore ===
 
Computing Team have rigorous checks in place on this filestore, which is backed up daily. The filestore itself is not tolerant to a failure, however.
 
 
 
The physical space on which this filestore lives is shared with the Managed Resource/Personal Resource Libraries and the Podcast Archive.

The Student Radio Awards is an annual event hosted by the Student Radio Association. Every year, URY enters itself for several different awards, sometimes winning.

Trivia

  • URY regularly loses out to Best Station because URN claim to be better. The majority of the committee justify this with Nottingham being significantly larger, URN having a lot more money, and a part time staff member to run it.
  • URY's very own Coco Cole was one of the Voices of the Awards in 2012. A small amount of gratification was to be had when she eventually had to read out URY's Best Technical Achievement submission name.
