 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.\\
 The following resource types can be extended:
-  * cpu-contingent in core-h: The amount on additional core hours. Depending on project type and amount, this has to be granted by part or all of the steering committee. For test projects, core-h are only extended for special reasons.

-  * project end in days: The number of days the project should be extended after the project end date. Depending on the project type, this has to be granted by part of the steering committee. Please note that test projects are only extended for a limited time, and all other projects (except private) are only extended for a year at a time.

 **Job submission disabled:** One month after project expiry, a mail is sent about job submissions being disabled. From that point on, jobs can no longer be submitted to the clusters. Jobs that are running at that time are not broken off.
+**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.
-If the project shall continue, an extension can be requested. That can even be done after the project has run out.
+If the project shall continue, an extension can be requested. That can even be done after the project has run out. Testprojects can only be extended for short times (30 - 60 days usually), other projects for a maximum of one year at a time.
+**Auto-extension:** If a project (that is neither test nor private) has a large amount of core-h left available, it is automatically extended once for 6 month.
