**Making your files safe**
--------------------------

Your data on FEDGEN HPC cluster is stored on arrays of redundant SSD
disks (RAID) to ensure data protection in the face of hardware failures,
however these does not safeguard against deletions or file corruptions.

You can adopt the following to safeguard your files;

- keep a synchronized copy of your home folder on your personal PC,
  using for instance ``rsync`` 

- promptly copy output data from the cluster scratch space to local
  storage;

- use versioning for all your text files.
