We're in the (very long, drawn-out) process of integrating much of our local bioinformatics resources to also deal with this problem. We have a general plan in place, including adding automated tape backup and a number of other features on the analysis end (storage for fast I/O, etc), but I'm interested in hearing more from others on this. chris ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
