A collection of high-level tape tools is available in **/projects/NS2345K/tools**.
noresm2tape copies the output of a NorESM case from NorStore's disk area to NorStore's tape resource. The output folder should be organised in the standard CCSM way (e.g., atmospheric output is expected in 'atm/hist'). If that is not the case, please use the command disk2tape instead.
- IMPORTANT:** It is highly recommended to run the script in background using the nohup command, e.g.,
"
``nohup````````/projects/NS2345K/tools/noresm2tape````````````````&````". Make sure not to forget the "&" at the end of the line. After submitting the script with nohup, it is safe to log out. You will receive a notification email when the transfer to tape is completed. ``
