You will receive an e-mail telling you the exact name of your new archive and its location. All archives are named according to the pattern NAME_OF_YOUR_SAMPLE-ID_NUMBER.tar and are stored in /miseq. A typical name and full path would thus be /miseq/201014_NB501183_0835_AHTHH2BGXG-1641976792.tar. This file is only readable by you, so as to keep your data safe. However, it is important to note that you cannot edit or delete it and that the file will only remain available for 28 days after creation. After this, it will be automatically removed.
