Not exactly specific GROMACS question, but looking for some insight for
those who are sure to be encountering the same issues.
How are people now handling archiving the huge data files that are
produced when going to large simulation boxes for long periods of time?
Until recently it has been find for me to put them onto DVDs, or may be
two or three. But as the sims get bigger, that is getting to be a pain
to do.
What are the options available? Is there actually anything out there
that can archive things when you are looking at 20-50G of data files?
Or is the best option to just archive onto hard drives now?
Catch ya,

I won't add to what has been said already, but just some info about your
media size research :
Blu-rays and HD-DVD burner are becoming available, although expensive
(around 1000 $/€ each burner) and its media also (from 25-50 $/€), the
sotrage capacity starts at 25 GB (single-sided) and can be 50 GB per
disc, for the moment.
If you have the money and a good reseller, the solution is to replace
the DVD burner by a blu-ray or HD-DVD burner + medias.
BTW, i think the price will drop rapidly (i think they'll become next
Christmas 'must have', so price may drop at least by a factor of 2
within one year), but again, it depends on the budget and urgency.
Yours,
