The TrueNAs/ZFS appliance performs daily snapshots with retention window of 180 daysSome faculty&students have their home directories on node ''ringtail'' which provides 33 TB via /home33. Some faculty&students have their home directories on node ''ringtail2'' which provides 66 TB via /home33. Some faculty&students also have their own storage (2x 110 TB via /mindstore).  Static content should be migrated to the Rstore platform.
