On the workstation desktop, find and click on the script "map SWAP ".

Next, transfer your data from SWAP to the gpfs0(G) disk (ESS) in the following manner:

Open driver G.

Go to the "Labs" folder, open the folder of your PI, open a folder with your Weizmann user name.

Copy data from SWAP to the "Raw_Data" folder.

Before you delete the data from SWAP, make sure that the data is fully entirely copied and opens in the relevant analysis software. Also, note that only the "Raw_Data" and "Analyzed_Data" folders are backed up.

Please note that only data acquired on the Lightsheet microscopes can be stored on the gpfs disk (ESS). No other data is allowed on this gpfs disk !!!

For Data organization on the ESS, please refer to ESS Guidelines.
