<p class="MsoNormal">Dear RDAPers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a very basic question or at least I think it is, so please bear with me.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are transitioning our cloud storage from Box to One Drive. I am finding that many researchers are working only in the cloud and do not have local copies on their machines. So they only have the one copy, and what back-up Box provides
which is not always reliable. Also our IT department is not really encourage people to make back-ups, as they believe this transition will go smoothly. I asked our Box support contact, and he asked me why I would even want to know this. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The workflow to back-up from a PC to the cloud and an external hard drive is more straight forward, and backing up cloud storage is the more tricky part. And we do not have a service like Globus to be able to send large amounts of data.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I think to recommend is to take it in chunks. Through the browser, Box only allows for a max of 15 GB per download. If they set up Box Drive they can copy over more, but it will take a substantial amount of time. This is a slow
and labor intensive way to do this. Also I am not a coder.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I am looking for detailed workflows for back-up from cloud to external drive/PC that is efficient and will help these researchers protect their data. If you have one, can you share it with me?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
