Data Management Toolkit @ UNH

Data storage is different from data sharing and preservation. Storage involves saving and accessing your research data during your project. While sharing and preservation ensure long-term storage and access after the project ends.

When selecting a storage option for your research data, consider:

• Access: Easy access for collaborators while preventing unauthorized access.
• Security: Especially for sensitive or regulated data.
• Backups: Availability of reliable backup systems.
• Requirements: Compliance with applicable funder guidelines.

For storing data at UNH, we recommend using the University's cloud storage. Learn more about using Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams.

For storage & backup  best practices and other storage options contact USNH Research Computing & Software Development.
