To keep files, essential files should be copied during the jobs runtime (copy commands in the slurm job script).

Memory is not affected by writing data to $SLURM_TMPDIR. The storage might be shared if the node is not allocated exclusively.Please note that you need to be in an slurm controlled environment to have access to slurm job variables. You may want to use
