 To extend some of the resources of an existing resource pool, click on 'request more resources' at the top of that part. On the opened page, set those resource types you want to extend to 'yes' (leave all others on 'no') and enter the value you want to have ADDED to the current amount. You can add an explanatory comment as well. Afterwards click on submit.\\    To extend some of the resources of an existing resource pool, click on 'request more resources' at the top of that part.

-Another mail is sent upon reaching 100% - at that point, no more files can be created in the affected volume, preventing further work or sometimes even login. In that case, delete any files not needed and if that is not sufficient, request an extension. Any type of project can get an extension in size on \$DATA up to 100TB. Higher values are possible after discussion with us. +Another mail is sent upon reaching **100%** - at that point, no more files can be created in the affected volume, preventing further work or sometimes even login.

 +**Backup relevant project data:** Two month after project expiry, a mail is sent to warn you to backup any data from your project that you want to keep. The mail says data retention is only guaranteed until three months after project expiry. For details about data see the next paragraph.
  
 **Login disabled:** Three month after job submission, a mail is sent informing about login being disabled. At that point, all user logins to the clusters belonging to that project are disabled. So far, all data belonging to a project was kept indefinitely after the project ran out - but this can not be guaranteed as total storage space might run out. It is therefore highly recommended to back up all relevant data before that point. **Login disabled:** Three month after job submission, a mail is sent informing about login being disabled.
