Store it safely You’ll be aware of the importance of backing up the files on your computer. But are you aware of some of the key things you need to consider when you want to store your digital material safely so that you can still access it 6months, 1 year, 3 years, 10years from now? These slides highlight some of the important considerations, and why they’re important to you – no matter what your research is on. And they apply to your personal digital records (like music, documents and photos) too. Photo by Cennydd via flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cennydd/2687237902/

Storage: what you should do Make multiple copies Keep them in different places to minimise loss due to fire, flood, theft etc. Use different types of storage: External hard drives Networked storage Cloud-based storage Back up is only one aspect of preservation

Choosing formats Don’t use default formats unthinkingly Consider: What is the best format for your data What hardware/software collaborators use Over the long term, proprietary formats can become obsolete For archival copies choose formats that are: open in widespread use conform to standards

Organising your information Without organisation, finding a specific piece of information is likely to be difficult. A system means that it’s easier to find things again in the long term Explain and document it to make it even easier Key things to consider: names you give files and folders use of tags, or information in file properties conventions in your field

Selecting what to keep Law/policy/mandate Emotional attachment Cost Are you obliged to keep the data? Are you obliged to destroy them? Emotional attachment A surprisingly powerful force, don’t underestimate it Cost Would it cost more to keep than to get again? Did you have to pay for it in the first place? Raw or processed data? Do you need to keep the means to process raw data?

Store it safely Make multiple copies and keep them in different places Use open/standard file formats where possible Organise your files so that you and others can find things when you need them Don’t keep everything. Be selective about what you keep and what you throw away In summary:
