Why do I need this?

The BCP -storage Storage file system is intended for transferring measurement data from long term storage of measurement (raw) data captured by a measurement computer as well as transfer of measurement data to your own computer or to your workgroup research group drive , as because of data safety reasons USB devices are not allowed on measurement should not be connected to measurements computers.

For measurement devices data from Devices in SupraFAB as well as in themeasurement room Taku 3Taku3, you can use the BCP -storage Storage network drive suprafab-analytics network drive for data transfer.

For major instrumentation e.g. XPS, Ion-TOFF or the microscopes of the EM and OM facility Major Instrumentation of the Electron Microscopy, Optical Microscopy, Microfluidics, PharmaMS & Surface Analytics Facility, device specific network drives are available that should be also used for data transfer & long-term data storage of(raw) data (up to 10 Years).

Note: The BCP -storage Storage is currently free of charge, but may be charged in the future.

Short protocols to use the BCP Storage

3. Naming & sorting measurement data: Data storage conventions on BCPFS

Getting Access & Protocols

1. Get your zedat account registered to the BCP-storage group of your research group by asking your group's BCP-storage manager or your research group head (guide for BCP-storage managers or group heads: getting-started-walkthrough.pdf → start reading page 2 lower paragraph).
   Note: In case your group is not using the BCP-storage until now, the head of the research group need to contact Mathias Dimde (Coordinator of the Core Facility) to get your group added as BCP-storage user group.
2. (Optional) In case you want to use the BCP-storage for data from major instrumentation e.g. of the EM, OM or Surface unit, additonally, contact the respective unit heads for access to the device specific BCP-storage file locations and provide them also your zedat account name.
3. Mount the BCP-storage network drive by using the mount button on the desktop (never mount via the win explorer), entering your zedat account name and the password (you will not see any inpout).
4. Safe your data in your work groups folder in a folder with your zedat name (nor your name) and use the follwoing data naming convention: YYYY-MM-DD_<zedat-account>_<experiment_name> (do not use empty spaces in a name).
   
5. Disconnect network drive by using the unmount button.
6. For further processing transfer data to your on computer or workgroup drive (store only not processed raw data on the BCP-storage). To access data on your own caomputer, download and read How-to map the BCP-storage network drive on your PC.

If you are not on campus (connected to ZEDAT-network/WIFI), you have to connect your computer via VPN in advance.

Detailled instructions for Using the BCP Storage
