NMR Data Backup
UD provides secure backup of data collected on all NMR Center spectrometers by harvesting data upon completion and transferring it to the archive without deletion locally. All data transfers are encrypted and strict data privacy rules are in place. The IT staff provide continuous monitoring of data transfers and will automatically alert NMR managers if issues arise.
Data Transfer From Automated NMR Spectrometers
NMR data acquired on the automated spectrometers (Neo 400, Neo 400-Star, AVIII 600, and Neo 600) via Icon-NMR are automatically transferred and backed up to an NMR data server (nmrserver.chem.udel.edu) upon completion of data acquisition.
To access your NMR data, you may use either Fetch (Mac) or WinSCP (PC) which are free through the University. To download Fetch or WinSCP, please visit UDeploy. If you have any questions about how to use Fetch or WinSCP, please refer to the tutorials below:

Important note for users of the Sonoma/Ventura MacOS: There is incompatible encryption between the latest macOS versions and the nmrserver. You will see the following error when you try to connect via Fetch:
To connect to the NMR server, you will need to modify your system config file. Email the CHBC IT support personnel Pat McMahon (pmcmahon@udel.edu) or Justin Vitelli (jvitelli@udel.edu) for help with fixing this issue.
Data Transfer From Manually Operated Spectrometers
The best way to transfer your data acquired on manually operated spectrometers (AVIII400 or any solid state instrument) is to use the UD DropBox Service. All data on the spectrometer hard-drives are transferred to the data servers of the CHBC computational facility on a daily basis (see above). To access your data from the server, please contact CHBC IT support personnel.
