Using Supercell-Storage server for backing up and restoring data from PSC servers
This guide will help you getting started and using the Supercell. If you haven’t already gotten a username/password for PSC systems (eg., Blacklight), you need to do it now. Use the password reset link.

Transferring files
Use rsync to sync the directories that you need to keep in sync

That’s it! You can retrieve the data anytime by reversing the rsync command.
