Note: werewolf has been retired. Please refer to the Surface Science hosted disk notes
Werewolf is owned by the King Group.
This computer is intended as a backup server for data/files. It is NOT intended as a single source file-server for data/files - if the only place you have your data is on werewolf and several things go badly wrong then you will be responsible for not maintaining your own cop(y/ies) of your data elsewhere. There is:
- 5.4TB of storage on RAID5 with a hot spare
- daily backup to were-back.ch.private
Accessing data on werewolf

There are 2 options:
- ssh: use sftp, ssh, scp or winscp
- windows file-sharing: start -> run -> \\werewolf

- windows file-sharing: however you do windows file-sharing from a mac
UNIX/Linux
There are 3 options:
- ssh: use sftp, ssh or scp
- windows file-sharing: smbclient (man smbclient)
- possibly via an nfs mount: quite a few of the King Group linux workstations mount the file-systems (rw) from werewolf, usually as /mnt/werewolf-X
Remote Access to Werewolf
ssh or winscp is the answer directly to werewolf.ch.cam.ac.uk or via a bastion host.
Backups
Data backup is daily to an almost identical computer on the other side of the building.
