Explanation of the automountable directories
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
The directories `/export/data[1-9]` and `/scratch` are always local on the disk of the computer you're logged into (either graphically or via SSH). In the Institude for Astronomy, `/export/data[1-9]` on managed [[services/workstations]] is backed up, while `/scratch` and `/export/data[1-9]` in other institutes are not backed up.
The directory `/scratch` is always local on the disk of the computer you're logged into (either graphically or via SSH). There is no
backup of data there.
If you want to access these directories from some other managed Linux workstation, you can access them via `/net/<hostname>/<directory-path>`, e.g. to access `/export/data1` from `workstation-a` while being logged in on `workstation-b` go to `/net/workstation-a/export/data1/`, e.g. by typing on the commandline:
