This command will copy the entire folder with the date of your experiment. You can recover the path to your data from ISPyb or from MxCuBE during the data collection. Wherever the symbols <> are used in the path, please insert the identifier corresponding to your particular experiment, e.g. the , which is numeric user id in your image path, and which is the date of your experiment in e.g. 20180607. If you want to copy specific data sets only, please just add the corresponding string to the path, however, take care to copy both the processed and raw data folders for each data set.
