Data versioning

[seanderickson]

We need to devise a data versioning strategy, to ensure master data files can be safely reverted/compared/etc to earlier versions.

Adddate: 2011-07-18 16:27:27 additionally, the script: /groups/pharmacoresponse/data/backup.sh creates a dated tar/gzip archive of both /groups/pharmacoresponse/data/images and /groups/pharmacoresponse/data/current in the /groups/pharmacoresponse/data/archive directory.

• this can be run manually by end users to create a manual snapshot of all of the data in the LINCS project currently.
• this will not provide the versioning strategy, however, it does give extra backup coverage.
• this script could be run as a nightly cron job to give us daily backups of the data.

This appears to be LINCS-related rather than SS, thus closing
