Data Storage and Backup

 

  • I am a Research Student. Where Do You Recommend I Store My Research Data?
    For research other than HIPAA, we recommend data storage on your ETSU OneDrive for Business Account. OneDrive provides every ETSU Student with 1 TB of storage space securely locked behind your ETSU credentials, automatically encrypts your data in transit and at rest, accepts all file types, allows you to securely share only data you wish to share, and lets you access your data from on or off Campus. For HIPAA data, your options are restricted to those approved by the ETSU IRB together with any healthcare organization that owns the data; you should consult with your research supervisor.
  • Get OneDrive Sync Clients for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.

    Note that WIN10 users do not need to download a sync client - OneDrive is built into the WIN10 operating system. Keep in mind that it is not necessary to "sync" anything to OneDrive - you may prefer to just manually save files on OneDrive from any device. Synchronizing a huge file repository to a mobile device, for example, may be counterproductive.

  • I want to Store and Possibly Analyze Data on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
    • Note that all data may currently be stored on AWS. This includes HIPAA data but only with appropriate permission from the IRB and HIPAA Compliance Officer in advance of storage.
    • Use your ETSU e-mail address to open an AWS research account.
    • Contact us to have your account added to the ETSU AWS Organizations framework.
    • Take advantage of the annual allowance provided to you by AWS.
    • You will need to provide us (ITS) with a departmental index number or research account number for billing should you exceed your annual AWS allowance.
    • We are available to help you set the performance and security parameters on your AWS account.
