Data Protection Backups
Data Protection/Backups Policy:
Data residing in Commons, Homes, or Restricted file shares are protected each night with a read-only snapshot. 20 snapshots are kept, and protect from most scenarios that are not system-wide. End-users can access the snapshots for self-service restores.
All data on the petaLibrary is mirrored to similar storage system. The backups are based on allocation, occur incrementally every weekday, and have a full backup starting on Friday that runs through the weekend. This backup methodology protects from a system-wide disaster, e.g. complete loss.
Usage
Groups, departments, or researchers can request access for several projects, but it will be up to the Research Office and ARCC to determine acceptable allocations of the petaLibrary.
Citing the petaLibrary
A requirement of all allocations and use of computing resources managed by ARCC , including the petaLibrary, is to acknowledge ARCC support for your research. Our ability to identify supported scientific results helps ensure continued support from the State of Wyoming, federal agencies and other sources for future HPC/HPS systems. Acknowledgement Policy
For projects on the petaLibrary
Citation formats. We request that you cite your use of the petaLibrary system with the following citation format, based on the source of your allocation and modified as needed to conform with citation style guidelines. Most important, please include the Archival Resource Key (ARK) — http://n2t.net/ark:/85786/m4z59r — (similar to a DOI) that is unique to the petaLibrary.
Example:
Advanced Research Computing Center. 2016. petLibrary: DDN GridScaler 7K, DDN WOS 7K. Laramie, WY: University of Wyoming. http://n2t.net/ark:/85786/m4z59r.
