These procedures will archive to DVD-R all the data in a directory and its subdirectories. If necessary, data will be split over several DVDs. In fact, if your data will fit on a single DVD, it is probably easier to use the DVD burner on one of the user workstations.
These procedures runs from Core user-area linux workstations. (For system archives, it will also work from ds1 and remus).
There are four methods, which are summarized here. Click on the links below for more details.
| method: | Archiving generic data | Archiving crystallographic data | Filesystem image archives | Manual DVD burning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setup: | setup robot | setup robot | setup robot | See online instructions |
| Description: | Setup is quicker and simpler than crystallographic; prints minimal data on media labels. Provides easiest access to archived data, but may fail if you have long or unusual filenames. Upgraded 2008.09.15. | Best for synchrotron or other raw data sets. Allows for printing information about the data in a standard format on the media's label. | Preserves more accurate representation of original filesystem. Creates a compressed backup. Will work when the generic method does not. Slower. | Allows you to make one or more copies of an .iso file complete with your own designer label. |
