<div><div><font size="2"><span>Please join us for this month's <span class="gmail-il">Marine</span> Data Cluster call, where we'll look into </span></font>workshopping ideas for a July ESIP session. The idea is to "let's talk about backups/testing backups. If we're using similar systems, we can more easily load each other's backups, so let's survey that" in the broader topic of data preservation. <br><font size="2"><span><br><b>Agenda:</b></span></font></div><div><br></div><div>We are cross-walking ODIS, ROR, and Re3data to add Research Data Management Systems/Software metadata to investigate software system usage at oceanographic data facilities. We are looking to survey what systems are being used at different organizations to learn about holdings, backups, and ease of ingest at a similar data facility. </div><div><br></div><div>As the saying goes, you are only as good as your last tested backup. Testing the ability of other repositories to ingest your data backups is an exercise that should be repeated more often. We will explore thoughts around automated ingest testing capabilities to allow for oceanographic data facilities to test their backups on a small scale without disrupting regular activities at multiple data facilities.<br><br><i><b>We're inviting everyone to participate with feedback on the session as proposed and any other ideas people may have for a potential session.</b></i><br><font size="2"><br>We hope you can join us!</font></div><span><div><br></div><div>-<span class="gmail-il">Marine</span> Data Cluster</div></span></div>
