What area should I use when?

A quick guide:

The rationale behind the use of group space as opposed to personal space is that you will most likely want to give other people in your group access to the results of the analysis. If this is not the case, you should use the matching home area. Please note that you have much less space in your own personal scratch area and that we will not move files from either your home directory or your home scratch directory into the groups directory after you have left. This means that if you are leaving but other people are continuing to work on the project, you need to co-ordinate who has access to your analysis before you leave.

For most non-YNiC-staff, the Home scratch area should generally be used fairly sparingly.
