Dear Raquel, For published structures you can publish the raw data, which means that somebody else is looking after it - for this I would say that the current front runner is Zenodo - https://zenodo.org/ - which is paid for by CERN / EU etc. so someone else is (currently) picking up the tab.
This has the happy side effect that it is useful to others :-) Best wishes Graeme On 29 Nov 2018, at 20:54, Lieberman, Raquel L <raquel.lieber...@chemistry.gatech.edu<mailto:raquel.lieber...@chemistry.gatech.edu>> wrote: Dear All, How do your labs handle long-term raw data backups? My lab is maxing out our 6TB RAID backup (with two off-site mirrors) so I am investigating our next long term solution. The vast majority of the data sets are published structures (i.e. processed data deposited in PDB) or redundant/unusable so immediate access is not anticipated, but the size of data sets is increasing quickly with time, so I am looking for a scalable-yet-affordable solution. Would be grateful for input into various options, e.g. bigger HD/RAIDs, cloud backup, tape, anything else. I will compile. Thank you, Raquel ------ Raquel L.
