Research Data Services

Guidance, tools, and training to support faculty and students working with research data.

Research Data Storage 

Data management plans should clearly identify where data will be stored throughout the active phase of a research project and the frequency with which it will be backed up.

It is recommended that you follow the 3-2-1 rule: Save three copies of your data on two different storage mediums, and one copy off-site.

University Systems offers a range of storage services to UVic researchers:
