-The primary storage for data is the curated storage level, i.e. storage that is accessible by clients for management of their data and consists of relational databases and files. Copies, database dumps and backups are stored on secondary storage, which is hard disk-based and on servers other than primary storage. For long-term archiving, the data is archived on tape. These tapes are stored with two identical copies at two different locations in the ZFMK.+The primary storage for data is the curated storage level, i.e. storage that is accessible by clients for management of their data and consists of relational databases and files.
