Introduction
The following guidelines pertain to the media types which can be received and processed or created by CU*Answers when converting new credit union clients to CU*BASE, and for other purposes when sending or receiving data on a physical media is required.
Purpose
These guidelines are published to avoid delays in processing that would result from an incompatible file media type being sent to CU*Answers.
Guidelines
NOTE: Any data containing potentially sensitive information (name/address information, social security number, etc) must be encrypted when saved on physical media.
The following media types are supported by CU*Answers:
- Ultrium 4 – 800GB capacity
- Ultrium 5 – 1.5TB capacity
- Ultrium 6 – 2.5TB capacity
- CD-ROM
- DVD-ROM
- Email, FTP, SFTP if encrypted with PGP or GPG
If none of these options are available from the vendor or the CU in-house system, the Conversion Coordinator or Project Lead Programmer will work with the Conversion Programming Team to determine a method for compatible data exchange or an alternative solution.
