Storage directory structure:
- keep the Vidjil structure
- backup the data directory, including fastq files, analyses, and .vidjil files
- check old backups to make sure there's only one backup storage
Files before 2020:
- store in external hard drives
- no need to store raw data from sequencer if not analyzed by Vidjil
Backup policy:
- use external hard drives, preferably with 5TB each or more
- backup Vidjil's data dir
- backup Vidjil's mysql dump
- code is backed up by git
