Quotas
Each user’s homespace is limited to a quota of 150GB with a hard limit of 175GB. Large datasets should be stored on the data volumes.
Backups
At present no volumes are backed up, so users are advised to keep their source code on a version control system and maintain their own backups.
Future storage
We are currently commissioning a new HPE ClusterStor parallel filesystem, which we hope will be available Q2/2025.
