Partnering with UM System, we are offering 300TB of long term backup storage called Research Managed Backup Service (RMBS). This system costs $120/TB for 5 years and is available to anyone in the UM System. This system is meant for backup, not primary storage. A researcher or faculty member could attach a large external hard drive to their local computer and use this service as a backup.
If you require support with an existing service, would like to request a new service, or wish to report an outage, please contact the IS Technology Support Center by email at techsupportcenter@umkc.edu.
