Each lab member may have a portable USB disk for back ups. (currently 5TB). The lab policies are:
- 1. You may take this disk with you when you leave the lab. When you leave the lab, we will discuss making a duplicate that stays in the lab.
- 2. At anytime, we will make a snapshot of your portable disk, which we will retain should your copy be lost or damaged. Allow one week for this.
- 3. If the disk is full, we will get you a new one, but please allow a few days.
- 4. For faster data transfer, we can connect your disk directly to the server, and then return it to you. Specify the server where the data reside.
- 5. Critical files (manuscripts, source code) should also be backed up elsewhere.
- 6. We will continue to make disks of key directories (/nfs/home/* and /raid?/people/*)
- 7. To the extent possible, please use this disk to reduce the burden of files on the cluster.
