Note: Data stored on CloudLab is not automatically available across regions. See below for more information about data retention on CloudLab.
DATA STORAGE & RETENTION
When working in CloudLab, we recommend saving all files in a folder on the desktop.
If you switch regions, you'll need to manually move your data to the new location. We recommend using Cloud Storage for this (e.g., Google Drive).
Data is retained while you are an active student regularly using CloudLab.
Action Required: Data may be archived or deleted if:
- You are not enrolled in the current semester
- You have not accessed CloudLab for an extended period (typically longer than one semester)
- You graduate from the BAC
Please save your data offline before the end of each semester to avoid data loss
(e.g., download to your personal device or upload to Google Drive).
