You will have received an email about scratch, which is a filestore that has been in use for a number of years such as on YARCC (the old university cluster) and the research machines.  Scratch is soon to be decommissioned.   We need you do the following;-

• delete your unwanted data

...

• move your data to

...

• Storage

...

• move

...

• your data to Viking if you have an account (note scratch on Viking is not backed up)
• move your data to Vault

If none of these options suit please speak to your DCO regarding what options are available in the local departmentemail itsupport@york.ac.uk for assistance. 

Please note that this does not affect the scratch area on Viking, hence why is is OK to move your data to Viking.

Below we have created a guide that help explore these options

Where can I look at my data?

The majority of YARCC has now been decommissioned now including the login nodes  If you wish to look at your data it is best to login to one of the research machines (ssh research0 for example) and navigate to your folder.  If you are off campus you will need to use the VPN.  In depth login instructions can be found following this link. 

ssh abc123@research0.york.ac.uk
cd /shared/scratch/hpc/users/abc123



Your files can be found there. 

Moving data from scratch to Viking

Please follow this link which describes how to copy data to Viking whether you are a windows or Linux user. Please note that the storage on Viking is not backed up and is not mounted on other university machines.  If you are using the research machines consider moving your data to Storage, the University's shared filestore service
