Topic: Backups and Disaster Recovery
Speakers: Curtis Preston, Collective Technologies
Date/Time: September 16, 1999 7:00 pm
Location: University Park Plaza Office Building (MRNet)
Synopsis:
There are six main steps to designing any good disaster recovery plan.
1. Define (un)acceptable loss
2. Back up everything
3. Organize everything
4. Protect against disasters
5. Document what you have done
6. Test, test, test
This talk will cover each of these steps.
Speaker Bio:
W. Curtis Preston has specialized in designing disaster recovery systems
for over six years, and has designed such systems for many environments,
both large and small. Curtis lectures around the world about disaster
recovery, and is an accomplished author, having written articles for
leading industry magazines including SysAdmin and NT Systems. He has
also recently completed work on his book "UNIX Backup & Recovery," for
O'Reilly & Associates, to be released September 1999.
Curtis is now a Principal Consultant for Collective Technologies (CT),
where a proven system for choosing a commercial backup utility has been
developed, when the environment and budget allow one to be purchased.
CT's system has been used to select commercial backup systems for some of
the world's largest environments, including one site with a 6-terabyte
Oracle database and another with a total storage capacity of 5 petabytes.
Once software and hardware selection is completed, CT designs and
implements a complete system based on the customer's requirements.
We will meet at University Park Plaza Office Building (MRNet office),
2829 University Ave. SE, in a conference room on the first floor of
the building.
