 **NOTE:** Adjust the memory settings of the docker container if needed, but recall that STAR requires about 32G of RAM (see [Optional Parameters](#optparam)).
 
-**NOTE:** If you need to keep the BAM files generated, please make sure to make a copy. By default, the BAMs remains in the nextflow `work` folder and only symbolic links are available in `outputDir`. By cleaning up the `work` folder, e.g. by running `nextflow clean`, the bam files will be removed. The ERVmap results are copied into `outputDir` and thus are permanent.
+**NOTE:** The BAM files are rsync'ed into the `outputDir` folder. Make sure to have sufficient disk space. By cleaning up the `work` folder, e.g. by running `nextflow clean`, the bam files will be removed. The ERVmap results are copied into `outputDir` and thus are permanent.
