When I delete users, a UCS@school listener module moves the home directories of these users into a backup directory ( /home/backups/... ). This is also true for exam users. UCS@school workshop attendees wanted a possibility to access and manage this backup directory more easily - right now this is only possible via CLI and with root priviliges. There's the fear that this feature might eat up too much disk space or add up to a quota that is applied to /home. At least the role "school admin" should be able to remove these backups. Incomplete list of possibilities: - A UMC module that provides access to the directory and allows restore and deletion - A checkbox during CSV-Import that removes also the home directory of users that are deleted (instead of moving them to the backup folder) - A description on how to set up a restricted file share to /home/backups so that a school admin could delete unwanted folders via a client computer

We decided to mention this in the documentation instead of adding a default share.
I added a paragraph.
Made some changes to the text and moved it to SDB.
