11. Data Back up

10.1. Backup to USB-drive during beamtime

If you bring a USB-drive, you may sync the data onto it during the beamtime. We provide a dedicated PC for this purpose, which is running debian. It is advisable to bring a drive which is known work fast on Linux systems, as some chipsets might be too slow to keep up with the speed at which you take data. Please also note, that ExFAT is currently not supported. FAT32, NTFS, ext4 should all work fine, for other file-systems we can not give any guarantee.

There is a script prepared, which will continuously sync the data onto your hard-drive.  Source and destination path have to be adapted beforehand. Usually, your local contact will help you with this. This information can also be found on the
