Why use remote storage? We all know that we should be <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/technical-support\/backups\/\">backing up our files<\/a>, but if you only store you files on physical media that is grouped together, it could all be lost at the same time. By having both physical backups <em>and<\/em> remote backups, you make sure that your files will be available <em>somewhere.<\/em> In addition to backups, your remote storage gives you the benefit of accessing your files from <em>anywhere<\/em>! This makes it easy to <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/technical-support\/virtual-machines\/transferring-files-to-and-from-virtual-machines\/\">transfer files between virtual machines<\/a>, OpenStack, lab computers, and your own computers. You can even access the files from your phone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what storage is available?
