Hi Luis,

This sounds good.

OK.  So, the data volumes you will be requesting will not be large.

Hmm... I thought that I sent you a note, but I don't see it in the
tracking system so I must have not; sorry.

The Unidata-Wisconsin backup machine is:

unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu

The user name and password are the same as what they were for the old
Unidata-Wisconsin backup machine:

user: XXXXXX
pass: XXXXXX

The directory strucures are the same:

urequest
neartime

but the number of days of data that are being kept online are a lot
more than they used to be: there are currently data going back to last
August.  FYI, The length of the backup record on unidata2 may be
shortened in the future.

Cheers,

Tom
