Why do I need this?
The BCP-storage file system is intended for transferring measurement data from a measurement computer to its own computer or to the workgroup drive, as USB devices are not allowed on measurement computers. For major instrumentation e.g. XS, Cryo-EM or the microscopes of the OM facility, the BCP-storage should be also used for long-term data storage of the raw data (up to 10 Years).
Please note that the storage is currently free of charge, but may be charged in the future.
Requirements
To get access to the BCP-storage ask your group's BCP-storage manager or your research group head to add your zedat account to your MI-portal workgroup ().
For OM only: Additionally, provide your zedat name to Katharina Achazi or Marta Maglione to give you access to the OM device network drives.
If you are not on campus (connected to ZEDAT-network/WIFI), you have to connect your computer via VPN in advance.
Protocol
Read the How-to map the BCP-storage network drive on your PC to lean how to use the network drive for data transfer and storage.
