How do you backup?

[essvee]

Hi All,

Thought it would be interesting to see how everyone here is storing their sequencing data for the long-term.

So what are you using and why?
HDDs, DVDs, BD, tape, online, flash drives(eek!)?

Thanks!
Steve

Does the MiSeq have it's own backup software?

The MiSeq (and HiSeq) Real Time Analysis software is configured to copy data to a network storage location after processing on the instrument. Data (Thumbnails, BCL files, stats, etc.) is copied as soon as RTA has generated them.

Where is this option? Or, are you talking about basespace?

MCS --> Run Options --> Folder Settings Tab --> Output location (if I recollect right, last of the 4 entries). You would put a network drive location there and make sure the drive is mounted on MiSeq.

We have access to the University's "... large, long-term, multi-tiered file caching and storage system utilizing both online disk and robotic tape drives. ..." Up to 10 PB on tape and 200 TB on disk. Not all mine to use, of course.

Ahhh....okay, thanks!

We have a GoogleDrive, which apparently is UNLIMITED. Guess I'm going to find out exactly what the limit on UNLIMITED is...
