ITS takes a snapshot of each academic course at the conclusion of the semester and stores the backup file for 10 years. The backup file can be used to restore the course if content is inadvertently deleted or an instructor moves to another institution using Moodle. Ten years after the end of each class, course backup files are deleted. Prior to deletion, instructors may request access to a backup file by submitting a ticket at http:// support.swarthmore.edu .
