Dear Amy,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We typically recommend researchers purchase a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device that is large enough so they can store their data locally. Relying just on a single cloud storage provider, particularly during a transition between service providers,
is a bit more risk that I’d take for most research data. This storage workflow (under Data Storage Hardware and Services at <a href="https://www.library.caltech.edu/services/research-data-support" class="">https://www.library.caltech.edu/services/research-data-support</a>) includes
<a href="http://Box.com" class="">Box.com</a> instructions at the end as a way to back up the NAS. But for your case with existing files on Box, the sync direction should be “Download” or “Bidirectional” instead. Then the NAS will chug through and download
all the files on Box to the NAS. This is effectively the same as using the “Box Sync” application on a desktop machine, but because the NAS is a separate device it can download the files continually without impacting anything else the researcher is working
on. You can also automatically upload files from the NAS to One Drive.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Let me know of you have any questions or come up with improvements to the workflow,</div>

I have a very basic question or at least I think it is, so please bear with me. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

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 class=""></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
<o:p class=""> </o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
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 class=""></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
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 class=""></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">
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 class=""></o:p></div>
