## Network Scratch
1111
Network scratch spaces are located on the parallel file system and accessible to all nodes. In contrast to `HOME` or `WORKSPACEs`, scratch is meant for temporary data, especially with larger quota requirements.

Jobs creating a lot of temporary data, which may need or may not need to be post-processed should run in this space. As an example, a application creating a huge amount of temporary output, which need to be analysed, but only partly need to be stored for a longer term.

Block and file quota is less restrictive on scratch compared to `HOME` or permanent `WORKSPACE` directories. Every user can use up to **30TB** and **10M** files. There is **no snapshot** and **no backup** feature available. Furthermore, an **automatic deletion policy** is implemented, deleting files which are older than **30 days**. Files are subject to automatic removal only if they are not accessed within a timeframe of 30 days. Any file with an access timestamp within the last 30 days remains exempt from the policy, ensuring that actively utilized files are not inadvertently affected.
