UMIACS Archives

UMIACS archives data for a period of 5 years.

What we generally do archive:

the primary drive from UMIACS-supported machines with persistent local data (Windows/macOS only)
data from accounts that are closed (including metadata, network home directories, and GitLab repositories)
retired non-scratch, non-project storage spaces (network home directories)

What we generally do not archive:

/tmp and /scratch directories (as discussed on our page about 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
