Thomas Coelho (local) 8.1 33 6 to 12 months after the expire date accounts will be delete. In general we assume that the account contains scientic data used for publication. This data need to be archived for ten year. Therefore the content of the home directory is compressed to an archive file and then archived at HRZ tape service. There it will be automatically deleted after 10 year.

Thomas Coelho (local) 8.1 37 **Important**: Because the home directory can contain personal data, you can disagree with the archiving based on DSGVO. The archive file is imediatly deleted then. For this you must store the scientific data somewhere else in your working group. We also need a written confirmation of the group leader, that this has been done.
