GC3F has limited public storage resources. Because of this, GC3F is only able to provide data for download from our https://gc3fstorage.uoregon.edu website for 30 days.
We encourage you to immediately download and backup your data when we initially make it available to you. It is the responsibility of our users to ensure that their data are retrieved from our website and backed up.
After 30 days, we migrate data from our public website to non-redundant cold storage. This means it is sitting on a single unplugged hard drive in a box which is not backed up. It is not a reliable means of storing data, and GC3F does not provide any guarantee or warranty that we will be able to successfully retrieve any data that is older than 30 days.
If you would like GC3F to attempt to retrieve data for you, please fill out the following form:
