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.
  • 2. Anytime, you make ask us to make a snapshot of your desk, which we will keep as a duplicate.
  • 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.
