Vidjil backup

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
• Vidjil Backup Restore Day: every year, on the second Wednesday of July
