We recommend that you save files over the network to your own computer or minerva. See the section on file sharing to set up a shared folder on your computer. One alternative is to save your files to a floppy disk. This has the advantage of being portable, but it has the disadvantage that floppy disks can be easily damaged. Floppy disks are not very reliable. You can also save files to the Documents folder, but there is no guarantee that they will not be deleted.
