The backup services for the HPC projects (NNxxxxK) will be decommissioned on October 1, 2025.
Backup of user homes on HPC systems will be continued on a best-effort basis.
The NIRD Backup service remains available on-demand for storage projects (NSxxxxK) on NIRD Data Peak (DP).
Note that, projects storage on HPC systems is not advisable for long-term storage. On the other hand, NIRD provides by default increased redundancy by design, complemented by automatic snapshots and on-demand backup options.
