    66 * '''Swap out your experiment it is finished''' -  People forget to do this all the time.  We do have an idle detection mechanism, but it is not perfect and may keep thinking your experiment is active long since you have collected your results, published your paper, and achieved tenure.  Please log back in and free up your nodes so that other researchers can use them.
    77 * '''Do not abuse the no idle-swap feature''' -  Only turn off idle swap if there is a true need.  Take the time to script the setup process for your experiment or create custom disk images.
    8  * '''Make good use of disk space''' - Our goal at DETER is to assist you in running experiments.  We are happy to provide you with all the storage necessary to accomplish your experimental goals.  Also, we maintain nightly backups going back a few weeks.  However, we are not a substitution for personal or institutional storage.

    99  * '''We are not a backup service''' - Please keep your important files backed up offsite at your institution.  Our main machine room is technically subject to earthquakes, tsunamis, and liquefaction.  Take a look at rsync.
    1010  * '''We are not an archive''' - Please clean up or move offsite any large log files and traces after your experiment is done and paper is published.  This makes sure that storage is available to researchers who are actively using the testbed.
