Thanks to Bill for his very useful post about backing things up. But I wonder
if you are not saving your trajectory frames way too often. Are you sure you
need all that much information?
You could think about doing this:
cpptraj <prmtop-file>
trajin input.nc 10 last 10
trajout output.nc
go
Your output.nc file will only have every 10th frame, so should be 10 times
smaller. Of course, you will have lost a lot of information, but think about
whether it is info you really need. Depending on your needs (but you say you
are a beginner, so that may not be all that specializd), saving frames more
often than about 1 ns intervals may not be very helpful.
Clearly, you have to use your judgement here, and you may indeed need more
storage space.
...good luck...dac
