## Good practices
-**Don't keep several copies of files**
All files present in your home or project folders on the mass storage are backed up on a tape library situated at the SEGI (B26). This means that **there are two copies of all your files in two different buildings**. If backed up properly, you'll be able to retrieve a file accidentally deleted less than 28 days ago. In some circumstances you will even be able to retrieve a previous version of a properly backed up file. To be sure your files are backed up properly, you should read the [backup policies](mass-storage/mass-storage-backup-archive) .

-**Use compression tools when possible and group numerous small files in DAR archives**
-**Keep all the files associated to a project in that project folder and not in your home**
This will allow all people working on a given project to access these data and work on them. It will also facilitate the upload of the data to public database when submitting a publication.
-**Name files and directories according to the mandatory rules described below**
