Sergei, all, I for one would always recommend saving data - not least as this is the basis for your science and you may need to revisit it later, perhaps before or after publication. Re: (a) I know we’re all working on improving the methods but they are still have scope for improvement (b) obviously depends on the local policies, and may not be guaranteed…
I know the software we have in DIALS is better than 2 years ago… sure XDS etc the same so you could well get better results revisiting old data, for marginal cases.

In the past, we always stored all raw data ever collected by the lab. With the recent advances, such as (a) automated/on-the-fly processing offered by some (European) synchrotrons, and (b) an ongoing discussion on centralized raw data archiving, I wonder if it is time to revise the strict policy of keeping all data (before we invest in a new NAS system... ) Best wishes, Sergei Prof. Sergei V.
