Backup at NSCC

Dear ASPIRE 1 User,

You may like to know that we are in the process of acquiring a remote backup system for your /home and /project volumes. To be located in NTU, we expect the system to be deployed before the middle of 2019. When the system is fully deployed we will be able to back up your home and project files for at least 30 days on a daily basis.

In the meantime, our existing resources allow us to maintain a single local backup on a weekly basis. Nevertheless, please be aware that NSCC’s storage resources are meant for approved projects and only for the duration of the projects. They should not be considered permanent storage. Therefore if you have any important data you should make your own arrangements to house them on a more permanent/secure basis,

in adherence to and in compliance with your own organisation’s research data management policy (RDMP), its general data management policy (DMP), cybersecurity and related policies.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] if you have any queries.
