Going beyond the best practices of “3-2-1”, this session will demonstrate real workflows and tools for backing up and versioning your research data. We will cover a variety of techniques for protecting your data, from low/no tech to more technical coding based tools, such as GitHub. This session will also address recent Google Drive changes. No matter what your discipline or what materials you work with, this workshop will assist you in finding a storage strategy that is right for you!

The workshop is part of a five-part workshop series that will teach you key data management skills to help ensure your work is organized, efficient, and verifiable. Each workshop will cover a specialized topic or tool for managing data. Participants are encouraged to self-enroll in the Canvas course to access asynchronous supporting content.
