Exclamation iconReminder: Scratch storage is temporary storage

The team at the CHPC would like to remind researchers that scratch storage is temporary, and any files stored in scratch spaces are automaticallly removed after a period of inactivity. Scratch spaces are not backed up, and files cannot be recovered once deleted. If you need to store files long-term, please consider using archive or project or group storage. We also recommend maintaining backup copies on separate storage hardware, if possible.
