1.Select an appropriate storage and backup strategy
There are many aspects to consider when selecting the appropriate storage for your data, such as storage capacity, accessibility, access control features, data security and integrity.
- In this reading guide you will find best practices for storage and preservation or your research data.
- Here you will find an overview of all available solutions at the UU for storing and managing data, including a Storage Finder and a Repository Finder tool.
- In addition: the Faculty of Science also provides a network storage service.
BFS is not suitable for:
- FAIR aspects of data storage
- collaborating outside UU (solis-id required)
- Incorporating metadata schemes
- For long term archiving, sharing and publishing you need YoDa
Differentiating features of BFS (compared to YoDa)
- Science BFS can provide single storage that can serve as an off premise backup to data only (half the pricepoint)
- Science BFS provides other network-protocols for connecting (smb, sftp)
- Science BFS can act as a NFS Volume mount
- Science BFS can default be mounted on the Gemini faculty HPC
