To set where you are storing data, go to the User > Preferences view and review the selection options for 250 GB permanent + 1 TB scratch-space under Storage Location.
Some ideas about how to use scratch-space.
- Load raw sequence files into the temporary 1 TB.
- Write intermediate files to the temporary 1 TB. .. experiment with parameters.. polish your workflow.. then rerun it with new data.
- Write final results and associated graphics into the permanent 250 GB.
- Export your history to an archive file and store that anywhere, or transfer it to a different Galaxy server, then load it up again later for full context preservation. You can even uncompress that archived bundle and access your files directly on your own computer.
- Create a workflow for processing, or extract a workflow from your direct work to create a pipeline β raw data + workflow == publication quality reproducibility. Share and remember what you did with the summary Workflow Reports.
- You can decide where to write and store results (everything in your account, or per history or per workflow) and can move individual datasets between the two spaces directly at any time. View which storage space a dataset is currently stored in, and modify that instantly, on the Job Details page (using the i-info icon).
Remember: your permanent 250 GB space must be under quota for new jobs to process.
- Rearrange data as needed, and consider processing in batches.
- Not sure where your data is? Review your User β Preferences β Storage Dashboard.
