Hello,

So I've reached out to a few contacts regarding "dumping" the database. This 
isn't something we've ever done and are not sure exactly how to do it. 
Especially with 10 days worth of data - that can be some very large database 
files, as well as the hdf5 files.  

We will get back to you once we hear something.

Question - since it is the summer, and potentially no classes/labs are going 
on, would it be okay to clear the archive with a new install?


Thanks,
