A redistribution tool for long-term archive of astronomical observation data [PDF]
Astronomy and Computing, 2020 Astronomical observation data require long-term preservation, and the rapid accumulation of observation data makes it necessary to consider the cost of long-term archive storage. In addition to low-speed disk-based online storage, optical disk or tape-based offline storage can be used to save costs.
