-disk2tape is script for copying a folder from NorStore's disk area to NorStore's tape resource. +noresm2tape copies the output of NorESM case from NorStore's disk area to NorStore's tape resource. The output folder should be organised in the standard CCSM way (e.g., atmospheric output is expected in 'atm/hist'). If that is not the case, please use the command disk2tape instead.
  
 +**IMPORTANT:** It is highly recommended to run the script in background using the nohup command, e.g., 
 + "''nohup /projects/NS2345K/tools/noresm2tape <path on disk> <path on tape> &''". Make sure not to forget the "&" at the end of the line. After submitting the script with nohup, it is safe to log out. You will receive a notification email when the transfer to tape is completed.
