Migrating both CryoSPARC Projects and Raw Data

Data Management

Hi all,

We have a huge modification to our filesystems coming soon. We will be migrating both the CryoSPARC Projects/Jobs AND the raw data. We are currently running 23 instances, and I would love to figure out a way to be able to allow the instances to come back up without issues.

I have looked into guides, but I have not seen anything targeting both the Projects/Jobs and the raw data. I would appreciate any pointers from anyone who has experience in this.

I assume:

  1. Detach all projects
  2. Migrate the data
  3. Attach all projects

But at this point, the raw data resides at a different location than what CryoSPARC knows. How would I go about moving this data cleanly?

All the best,
Walid

Could, after migration of the raw data, create symbolic links

  • at the path(s) that CryoSPARC “knows”
  • pointing to the new raw data path(s)

?
If that is not possible, paths to imported data can be updated as described for a similar use case.
