For data that meets OURRstore requirements (relatively static, STEM related, not clinical nor regulated), archiving to OURRstore is a very cost effective option to get resilient, long-term, offsite copies for little extra money (just media and shipping costs). Other options for backup include the UAMS campus Research NAS or cloud storage such as Azure, Google, Amazon, or IBM. USB or bare drives are also an option for backup, but not recommended, as they are quite error prone if not stored and managed properly. Some departments might have departmental storage systems that could hold backup copies of data, though the caveat of proper management of those devices still applies.
