Attic is the name of a storage system provided by HCC that is designed to reliably store data as a near-line archive. Users may access Attic through Globus Online transfer services.
As of January 2017, HCC offers substantially subsidized pricing on its Priority Access offerings by utilizing NRI funding, allowing us to offer Attic services for only $28/TB annually.
Attic Guidelines and Best Practices
Attic quota and disk usage
Attic disk usage statistics are written to a file in groups' attic paths called "disk_usage.txt." This file contains the quota and used space values for each group's attic allocation.
The file can be downloaded by pointing the Globus interface to Endpoint hcc#attic and Path /attic/groupname, where groupname is your group. The file listing should include the "disk_usage.txt" file.
The file can also be downloaded with sftp/scp at the /attic/groupname/disk_usage.txt path on any of HCC's transfer servers.
