If you remove a file in <tt>~/nearline</tt>, the tape copy will be retained for up to 60 days. To restore such a file, contact [[technical support]] with the full path for the file(s) and desired version (by date), just as you would for [[Storage and file management#Filesystem quotas and policies|backup]] restoration. Note that since you will need the full path for the file, it is important for you to retain a copy of the complete directory structure of your Nearline space. For example, you can run the command <tt>ls -R > ~/nearline_contents.txt</tt> from the <tt>~/nearline/PROJECT</tt> directory so that you have a copy of the location of all the files in your Nearline space.
