UMIACS Archives
UMIACS archives data for a period of 5 years.
What we generally do archive:
- persistent filesystem data from primary drives on UMIACS-supported machines (Windows/macOS only)
- data from accounts that are closed (metadata, network home directories, GitLab repositories, etc.)
What we generally do not archive:
/tmpand/scratchdirectories (as discussed on our page about filesystem data storage)- Temporary project directories
- External drives that were attached to a UMIACS-supported machine
- Data that migrated forward from one UMIACS-supported machine to a new UMIACS-supported machine
- Data that was handed off into the care of the end-user or PI via external drive
- Data from drives that failed and was not under backup protection (unavailable for us to archive)
- Any data from self-supported machines
