[galaxy-dev] Data Retention Policies

Hello All,

This is more of a general policy question. The head of our Research Informatics Support Systems group here at the University of Minnesota wants to know how other institutions are handling the large amount of data generated by next generation sequencing facilities and processed by local Galaxy instances. Specifically, I think she is interested in what sort of data retention policies institutions have in place - for instance how long do you store data, what sort of quotas do you put in place, what sort of backups do you have in place, etc....

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time, -John
