The cron jobs I described to backup /scratch1/bud18 are now in place.
/scratch1/bud18 will be fully backed up once a week to tape and incrementally
each day to disk files on /scratch/bud18. I will archive the full tapes once
a month. Please move any unnecessary files to /scratch1/bud18 in order to
free space on /home/blast.
