Hi, Folks, I just want to let you know that a 7.5TB backup space is available on an external hard drive attached to frankenstein in M112. Everyone with an account on frankenstein has access to it. It is currently mounted as two parts: 1. /backup is a 500GB space that is designed to backup the 500GB user data currently stored on frankenstein. It is recommended that everyone makes a subfolder with his own username under /backup and backup his entire home directory to that subfolder (for example, I have a folder /backup/yunl that is backing up my home directory). An example script (backup.sh) for one-click auto backup is attached here: ‹‹‹‹‹backup.sh‹‹‹ #!/bin/bash rsync -anv --delete ~/ /backup/$USER/home &> dryrun.txt rsync -av --delete ~/ /backup/$USER/home &> log.txt & ‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹ 2. /export is a 7TB space that can be used for storing anything. It is also recommended that you make your own subfolder and throw your data under that subfolder. Note this is not a high performance disks space, therefore please do not try to run calculations that does I/O on those partitions. Happy computing!
