Code42 is a backup agent that will back up all data on a university device under the primary owner’s profile. The backup sets can be used for restoring data to a machine, whether it has been reformatted, replaced, or compromised. This document will outline the steps needed to install, activate, and restore data to a new or existing device.
Code42 is required on all University provided desktops and laptops to backup all University Business data to prevent data loss.
Who Can use Code42?
Code42 is presently licensed for full-time faculty and full-time staff only. The University mandates Code42 for proper data security practices. If a user has personal data that they wish to exclude from being backed up, a folder labeled “Personal Documents” can be found and utilized in your “Documents” folder. This folder and its contents will be ignored by Code42 when your system is being backed up.
Personal Documents folder locations:
Windows PC
C:\users\username\Documents\Personal Documents\
macOS
/users/username/documents/Personal Documents/
Tip
If the Personal Documents folder does not exist in your Documents folder, you can manually create it and the folder will be automatically ignored by Code42.
Is My Data Secure?
Code42 uses AES-256 encryption is used when storing your backups and can only be accessed by theCode42 account owner and administrators.
What is Backed Up?
All data found in a user profile will be backed up by Code42.
Location of User Profile:
Windows PC
C:\users\UserName\
macOS
/users/username/
Warning
Any data not stored in the user profile will NOT be backed up by Code42. It is highly encouraged to store university business data within your user profile.

DUO two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your FDU NetID. It requires two factors to verify identity. These factors include something you know – your FDU NetID and password, and something you have – a phone or passcode, to authenticate and gain access to your account on FDU services. Passwords alone no longer provide adequate protection against cyber hacking. DUO is required for all current FDU students. Please follow the steps below.
Install Duo Mobile App
The DUO app is available for mobile phones and iPads. You can directly access the Duo Mobile Security App at the links below.
NOTE: This step requires a Desktop or Laptop browser.
In a Desktop or Laptop browser visit the DUO Management Portal to begin the activation process by enrolling your device. Activation requires scanning a QR code with the Duo app’s built-in scanner
Supported Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and Internet Explorer 8 or later. Some browsers do not support all of Duo’s authentication devices (for example, Security Keys won’t work with Internet Explorer). For the widest compatibility with Duo’s authentication methods, we recommend recent versions of Chrome and Firefox.
Click “Start setup” to begin enrolling your device
Select the type of device you’d like to enroll and click “Continue“. We recommend using a smartphone for the best experience, but you can also enroll iOS/Android tablets
Select your country from the drop-down list and type your phone number. Use the number of your smartphone or cell phone that you installed the Duo Mobile Security App on in the Step 1
Double-check that you entered it correctly, check the box, and click “Continue“
NOTE: If you’re enrolling a tablet you aren’t prompted to enter a phone number.
Choose your device’s operating system and click “Continue“.
Click “I have Duo Mobile installed”
If you have not completed installing the Duo Mobile App in Step 1 please complete now by following the platform-specific instructions on the screen. After installing the app return to the enrollment window
Activating the app links it to your account so you can use it for authentication
On iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone activate Duo Mobile by scanning the barcode with the app’s built-in barcode scanner. Follow the platform specific instructions for your device:
The “Continue” button is clickable after you scan the barcode successfully

Plug them back in after 60 seconds and watch the lights on your modem/router. Once the lights are on and steady, start your computer.
Keep all your Local Components Up-to-date
Check that your modem/router and your local computer are totally up to date. This includes the operating system, driver, and browser updates.
Disconnect / Turn off any Devices that are not in use
Some devices could be using bandwidth while on standby. Gaming consoles, for example, might download and install updates. Turn off these devices to keep your bandwidth free.
Use an Ethernet Cable
Using a wired Ethernet connection will make your connection more stable and eliminate additional latency compared to a wireless connection.
Change your Wi-Fi Configuration
If a wired Ethernet connection is not possible or your device requires a wireless connection:
Connect to a 5GHz wireless network. Some routers offer both 2.4GHz connections and 5GHz
Place your devices (such as a computer or smartphone) and your router closer to each other

Oracle is a product from Oracle corporation, that provides a relational database management system. Oracle’s database simply known as Oracle is a multi-model relational database management system, mainly designed for enterprise grid-computing and data warehousing. It is one of the first choices for enterprises for cost-effective solutions for their applications and data management. It supports SQL as a query language to interact with the database.
Now let’s discuss how to use Oracle in the FDU environment.
Accessing Oracle
FDU provides Oracle access to students and faculty on the Opus server. The Oracle environment is provided to support coursework and skill development.
Opus users are automatically granted access to Oracle after first successfullogin (It may take up to six hours before access is available).
If you do not already have Opus access you will need to request access by selecting “Opus (Linux) Request” on the FDU Forms site:
Access to the Opus server is restricted to FDU networks only. If you are off campus and would like to access Opus for your Oracle work you will need to use FDU’s Virtual Private Network (VPN).
The Oracle Database is accessed using the SQL Plus utility, which has a command-line interface. To start using SQL Plus simply type “sqlplus /” on the Opus command line.
Interactive use can then start by entering a SQL statement (terminated by a semicolon), a PL/SQL block, or another command. For example:
SQL> select 'Hello world' as example from dual;
EXAMPLE
--------------------------------
Hello world
To access Forms, you will be directed to our SAMI Support Portal where you will be asked to log in using your NETID and authenticate using Duo. Once you click “Next,” you will be forwarded to samisupport.fdu.edu in a new window or tab.
