* Backups
  - Tape robotics drive is broken.  Eric tried dozens of resets with no luck.
  - No restores from backs possible without tape drive.
  - Tom Ferrin says there is another tape drive from Jacobson lab but it needs some parts swapped out that he could work on after holidays.
  - Scooter says cloud backups to Microsoft Azure are $8-9 per TB per year.  Should investigate.
  - Eric would have to revise backup scripts to use cloud backup.  Might be a small change to send tar files to cloud.
  - Greg pointed out that UCSF outgoing bandwidth is low (~10 Gbits) that could impair cloud backups.
  - Scooter says Mission Bay looking at getting 100 Gbit internet connection.
  - Tom Ferrin notes many labs are pressuring UCSF IT to allow cloud backups, and they have agreed that it is permissible.

* ChimeraX Mac notarization failing
  - Mac notarization failed the last two days.
  - This prevented releasing ChimeraX 1.7 yesterday.
  - Investigation shows codesign certificate expired December 12.
  - Eric talking to David Ng to get new certificate.
