Our lab systems utilize disk storage that is shared by all in the CS department.

There might be times when you receive large amounts of data for a project you're working on in CS. Because our disk space is shared by others, we must all be conscious of the amount of data we store.

Additionally, for static data (data that does not change), because we have a backup system that backs up our data on a nightly, weekly and monthly basis, it's important that we minimize the number of times the backup system needs to backup the same large data over and over again. 

Some of you might plan to store a large amount (over 50gb)
