This procedure should be considered draft/incomplete while this line is here
Roger's decription of the process is available here
ptn121 and ptn140 on Sphinx are the archiving partitions for NFS accounts.
/group/support/archiving is the archiving partition for AFS accounts.
The accounts to be archived are selected using the script old_accounts,
one of the account management tools. This script checks to see which Informatics
computing accounts (specifically those recorded in LDAP) do not correspond to current
(or recently current) staff or students doing Informatics degrees. These accounts are
archived, ie their homedir, mail (not students) and web files are copied to an archive
partition and then written to tape when the partition is full.
The script external_accounts checks to see which Informatics computing
accounts (specifically those recorded in LDAP) correspond to old non-Informatics
students accounts (i.e students currently doing a non-Informatics degree who are not
registered on any Informatics courses this session or last session). These accounts
are sent a warning email and then, if there is no reason why they should be saved, are
deleted.
The script warn_account_deletion can be used to send email to the list of
users produced by old_accounts.
/usr/local/sbin/archive-rsync uses the least full of the archiving partitions /usr/local/sbin/archive-rsync-ptn -p ptn140 gives the choice of archiving partitions /usr/local/sbin/archive-rsync-ptn.NEW fixes a few bugs /usr/local/sbin/archive-tape-write /usr/local/sbin/archive-tape-accessThe tape-write script has been modified to work from amaranthine (or any linux machine)
/disk/archiving/scripts/archive-tape-write.Ross -v -device /dev/st0 -source /partition/ptn140
Do not fill the partition more than 95% full.
The script /usr/local/sbin/archive-rsync copies the user's files to
the archive partition. It also copies mail and web directories, producing the
following output:-
bash-2.05# ls -l TEST/ptn041 total 20 drwxr-xr-x 91 woodsar staff 7680 Feb 18 2006 woodsar-archive drwx------ 3 woodsar daemon 512 Oct 15 2004 woodsar-archive.Mail drwxr-xr-x 4 root 48 512 Nov 8 2004 woodsar-archive.WebIt accepts a file of users, (comma-separated) list of one or more users, or prompts for user(s) if none given. It does not delete files from the original location or update ldap.

Roger's original script has been modified so that the partition being archived
can be varied, as can the tape device. These are given as command arguments. The
modified script is /disk/archiving/scripts/archive-tape-write.Ross.
eg archive-tape-write.Ross -v -s /partition/ptn121 -device /dev/st0
