*** Using the Tape Archive (HPSS) ***
ALCF recommends using the tape archive system (HPSS) as part of your data management strategy. The ALCF has 16PB (compressed) tape capacity for longer-term data storage needs. The two client commands with access to HPSS (i.e., hsi and htar) are available on the intrepid login node. For further instructions on how to use this resource, please consult the documentation at http://www.alcf.anl.gov/resource-guides/data-archive-hpss or send email to support at alcf.anl.gov.
