File Storage:

June 24 - File storage is being reorganized yet again. 

• Storage locations and procedures are being changed

• Expected significant changes

• Sorry about the disruptions some of which are due to the slide scanner system being not upgradable to Windows 11

Introduction: To help with data file management some practices are being implemented.  Some changes are due to Windows 10 connectivity limitations.   

Overview:

What is being done?

What are the data implications for users?

• Files will be at 2 locations initially
• The copy process is cumulative.  Files which are newer on the D: drive & files on the D: drive that do not exist at \\minsky.med.unc.edu\vs200 server will be copied nightly
• Deletion of files at the VS200 D: drive will leave copies on the \\192.168.2.204\vs200 server and also on a hidden backup server

What are the limitations?

• The VS200 C: & E: drive files are not copied to servers.

What will be done with data on the D: drive?

• Files older than ~1 month will be subject to summary deletion on the D: drive.  They will be maintained at the server \\192.168.2.204\vs200 for longer.

What users can do to help with data management?

• Copy your data to CF shared or groups or server location appropriate for your division
• Map a drive letter to your division's server storage space - See http://microscopy.unc.edu/shares
