> What is your backup strategy / data retention policy?
> VFEmail feels it's important to provide a long-term, stable, environment for our users. In that effort, we perform nightly backups to an offsite host from all on-site and off-site mail storage locations. This backup runs at 12am CST (-0600) and contains all user data. > 3rd party storage of user data is generally not wanted by privacy-conscious users. If you fall into that category, you will want to use POP3 and download your mail daily. Our backup is on a daily/weekly rotation, initiated by a snapshot. If you do recieve mail between your last POP and the snapshot at 12am, it will exist on backup for a week - unless it's on Saturday night, then it's a year. You should set your POP program to download every 5-10 minutes in order to avoid having your mail caught on backup.

> Why are there images of different sizes?
> The Cassini cameras are 1-megapixel cameras. A normal image is 1024 x 1024 pixels. Using a technique called "summation" the cameras have the ability to combine pixels together to get smaller but less noisy images. This results in smaller images that take a lot less time to readout out and take up less data volume. Summation is very useful if a scientist needs to conserve both. In the 2 x 2 mode, the camera takes a 2 x 2 pixel square and averages those values into a single pixel. Images in this mode will be 512 x 512 pixels. In the 4 x 4 mode, the camera takes a 4 x 4 pixel square and makes that a single pixel. Images in this mode are 256 x 256 in size.
