In our centre, we have been completely overwhelmed at the amout of data that is kept on spinning disk. I'm curious to find out what others are doing with their data storage.
For our GAIIx runs, we no longer analyze from images and keep thumbnails for troubleshooting. We perform our analysis from intensities on both the GAIIx's and the HiSeq's. We use Illumina's pipeline to generate QC results and sequence (fastq files). It produces a considerable number of intermediate files. I'm curious to know what people keep and what is discarded. Also, what do people backup onto tape for safekeeping?
