UMIACS Archives
When UMIACS archives data we hold onto the archive for a period of 5 years.
In general, we archive the following:
- the primary drive from hosts with persistent local data (Windows, macOS)
- accounts that are archived and deleted (including metadata, network home directory/directories, and GitLab repositories)
- mailboxes that no longer receive mail (i.e. the forward address that used to go to the mailbox has changed)
We may not archive the following:
- tmp and scratch directories (as discussed on our page about data storage)
- external drives that were attached to a machine
- Data that migrated forward to a new machine
- Data that was handed off into the care of the end-user or PI
- Data from drives that failed and was not under backup protection, that is unavailable for us to archive
- Data from self-supported machines
