See GoogleDriveWisdom for an overview of using Google Drive.

See DesignDoc for an overview of how to write a design document.

Our design documents are now kept in a shared Google Drive folder. To protect against their loss we're making regular backups of all design documents. Other documents are not backed up.

Making a backup

Once per week:

  1. Log in per GoogleDriveWisdom.
  2. If you've never done so before, following the "Getting Set Up" instructions at GoogleDriveWisdom.
  3. Click the checkbox to the left of the folder "HTCondor Design Documents".
  4. Some buttons should have appeared the list of files and folders. Select "More", then "Download..." from the menu that appears. A dialog box labelled "Convert and Download" should appear.
  5. Next to "Change all formats to:" click "MS Office".
  6. Click "Download"
  7. Wait to be notified your download is ready. The dialogue box will probably say "Zipping Complete".
  8. Your download should automatically start; if it doesn't click the link "click here to download".
  9. Save the download into /p/condor/gittrac-backups/design-documents . The filename should look something like HTCondor_Design_Documents-2013-09-21.zip with the current date in the last part in year-month-date order. If the name doesn't name, change it to do so.
  10. In a different folder, unzip the archive and open at least one of the files to ensure it looks plausibly correct. You can delete the unzipped files afterward; we're just keeping the zip archive as a backup.
