Backing up your project folder
Be sure to backup your project folder on a regular basis. If anything happens to your project folder SD card, you'll have a backup version in your class folder.
Connecting to your class folder
Note: Do not connect to your class folder until you are done working for the day. Always back up your project folder before leaving the lab.
Right-click the Start button (bottom left) and select File Explorer.
In the File Explorer window, click This PC (on left.)
Click the Computer tab (top of window.) In the drop-down menu, select Map network drive.
Leave the default Drive letter selected. In the Folder field, copy and paste the following string (be sure to copy the full string):
\\ad.uwm.edu\shares\_U_LS\Courses\JAMSClick Finish. Your class folder will appear in the This PC area as a connected drive (probably the Z drive.)
If necessary, navigate to your class folder.
Backing up your project folder
If you haven't done so already, connect to your class folder (see above.)
If need be, right-click the Start button (bottom left) and select File Explorer to open a File Explorer window.
In the File Explorer window, select This PC (on left.) Double-click the JAMS drive (probably the Z drive) and navigate into your class folder.
In you class folder, create a new folder using today's date as its name using this format: 8-8-2021. Note: Do not use slashes in the folder name.
To open a second File Explorer window, right-click the Start button (bottom left) and select File Explorer (or press Windows E on keyboard.)
In the second File Explorer window, select your project folder SD card (on left.) Your project folder SD card will be named JAMS followed by a number.
Click and drag your project folder from your project folder SD card into the folder you created in Step 3. Important: Make sure you click and drag the project from your project folder SD card into the folder you created in Step 3 (not the other way around.)
